Rookie archery hunter needs help scoring a deer!!
So I'm attempting to take a deer this year with a bow, I've hunted everything else besides deer. I put out a few mineral blocks 20 yards away from heavy trails and also put out a game cam and got the following two bucks on camera a few times. Can anyone help me out scoring them and how close I should put a stand and when I should put it up? Thanks!

Really nice bucks! I'm not familiar with scoring deer so someone else will have to help you with that. Look at this site and see if it helps good luck this season.

It is rather difficult to give bucks in velvet a rough score because they look so much heavier than they truely will be. But judging from the beam length and potential mass and good tine length he should be in the 170's, really good symetrics as well. Hope you get a chance at him, good luck............

Definite booner on the front one. The one in the back is probably 130's but it wouldn't matter to me. I would be going all-in on that front one if I were you. Big boy or tag soup as long as he's still around. Good luck.
