Never had a Buck Scored, but need assistance with this odd 12 pt
THis is a soutern IL 12 point (5x7)buck I shot last year. It's still at the taxidermy, as I had a buddy take it to his guy... I still haven't got it back.. Ugh... Anyway, I've never shot one this big, and wanted to know what it would score... It had 3 or 4crab claws, so I guess that takes away from the score.. Inside spread was 21 3/4" I think... Thanks,
joel

I would score him as a typical 4X5 and then add on the abnormal points. I'm not sure if you could call his left G-3 an abnormal point, score him as a 4X4 typical and then add that point to the list of abnormals. It would lessen the impact of side to side deductions from your gross typical score and increase the total non-typical score.
If we could call his typical frame a 4X4, I'd sayhe would have a 136" typical frameandwould end up with about a 152-155 non-typical scorewhen all is said and done.

any idea on the age by chance? To me, it looks old. I'm guessing 3-4 years old.. any ideas?
There sure are a lot of lookers, but so far only about 5 people commented on the deer... anyone else? I"m open to guesses or comments.
