The link to B&C online score sheet. You can downlaod and print then if you desire come back at have it calc. the score if you wish.

http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRecords/bc_scoring_typwhitetail.asp?area=bgRecords&typ e=Typical+Whitetail+Deer


Basically what you need for a B&C or P&Y score is the following for your deer.

Inside Spread(widest point)
Main Beam x 2 (measure from the pedicle to the tip on the outside of the beam)
3 tine measurements per side seeing it is a 4x4
G1 (brow tine)
G2
G3
4 circumfrences per beam ( H1, H2, H3 & H4 on theRt and Lt)

Then total it up for your gross score. Deductions for differences between each measurement taken (except the spread) make up your net score.

Good Luck

slayer i cannot see your pic here (work[:@]) but a 100" deer is nothing to hold your head down about, if your going to get into "score" your judgeing will get better and better,just always think of it like this, is this better than the last buck i killed, if not let it walk, come next season it may be your new buck of a lifetime, myself, i'm not that hung up on score, but i am constanly trying to improve my own personal best, if last year you killed a 135" deer and this year you kill a 132" deerno big deal,but i get some personel satisfaction letting younger deer walk, beside our buck:doe is so out of whack i like to kill as many does as i can with my bow (trying to do my part) on a decent year i'll kill 5-7 does and a buck or two, if i don't score on a decent buck there is always next year
