My Buck Scored By BuckScore.com
 

I sent in a few pictures of my 4 best bucks, and few trail cam pictures to have them scored, so far I got one score back today. This buck I took a few years ago in Illinois with my H&R Ultra Deluxe 20ga. shotgun. Now I had it scored by two people and they aren't certified scorers but they each came out with a rough score of 130", but this is the second time that buckscore.com measured this buck and it came out with roughly the same score. The link just above the picture is the link for the score sheet. I'm not sure how accurate buckscore.com is, but it's telling two times the score is 20 plus inches bigger then the two scores I got from two people measuring it

Nice buck.

I'm a little bit baffled at your post as to how they could score that rack without doing a hands on measurement if that's what you're saying. That is no better than us looking at the picture and getting into arguments like we do here sometimes. The buck does look better than 130", but pictures can be very deceiving.

Topgun, I really have no idea how it works but I assume the computer program takes the measurements then it adds it up. I sent in a few more pictures of other deer and still waiting for the reply, I have an idea on the size of those deer, if buckscore.com is near the score of the other deer then I will think this score is accurate ....... Time will only tell

Sounds like a bunch of baloney to me as there is no way you can score an animal without doing an actual hands on measurement. No way, no how!!! I wondered how in the world those measurements on the sheet were to four decimal places, LOL!

A nice buck either way, no matter which score is accurate.

***No argument with that statement at all! I just went into that website and watched the video of how they do it with a computer software program. I will still call baloney after watching as IMHO there are too many variables that they are using to come up with that program. If you have that mount, why not follow the B&C instructions and do a hands on yourself? It's not that hard to do a score and you should come close by doing it yourself. Please try it and let us know what you come with. If it's close to what they say, I'll eat crow! I'm pretty good at it too, LOL!

I'm with TG on this. There is no way you can accurately score a rack without measuring it by hand. I can look at a rack and guess the score, but is that accurate? I believe the scoring website is just a guesstimate. I would want more of an accurate score. I score my deer myself. I then sometimes take them to a local sporting goods store and have them measure them. We are always pretty close. Of course I take the higher score, and usually it's them with the higher score:s4:

IMO the buck looks more like a 150 class than a 130. I lending more credibility to buckscore than to your buddies.

I agree totally with Roger that your buck is way closer to the 150 mark than the 130 mark. I have 2 8 points in the upper 120's to maybe 130 and look alot like your deer without the G4's. Nice deer and juxt my opinion.

Just got back a few more scores from buckscore.com, just waiting on a few trail cam pictures.

I think I read somewhere that they say they are within 10% of the actual score. I thought to myself that on a 150" buck thats 15 inches. I think with practice you can guess the score on a good buck pretty easy. I'm not saying for you bowhuntercop, I know you know deer very well, I'm just saying for the hunter new to the sport.

I will admit the first deer in this post when I saw him I thought for sure near the 160" mark, he was 80 yards away and caught me off guard, but when I got my hands on him I knew he was in the 130" range, two none certified scores scored him at 130" another at 131" I think he is, buckscore.com over scored him at the mid 150s. All the other deer after the kill I estimated their score just by looking and I was near the mark of their true scores.

130" is definitely about right on the first buck.

He's got about 48" of time length 38" of beams 27" mass and 17" spread. Heck of a buck regardless! He looks a lot bigger because his times are so thick.



I'll send in some of my trail cam pics and deer that I've personally scored to see how I feel about them lol

I got two more scores back, these are two bucks in my area I'm after

second one:

The wide one I had scored before from buckscore.com and it came out just under 123"

Well, I decided to take a look at the pictures and try and score them before I looked at the buckscore. I was 5" high on the first one and 2" low on the second one from what they got. Both are shooter bucks in my mind. I'm setting my standards this year so that the first 125" seen I will be taking if possible. After that, I'm saving my second tag for something big. I got two nice bucks last year so I'm looking for something really special this year. Cant wait for those July trail cam photos so I can start getting a hit list prepared!

Fasetti, for New Jersey those two bucks on the trail cam are shooters, if I was still going out to Illinois on the farms I had I would pass them up all day long.

What County in Illinois are you hunting?

looks like a high 140's possibly lows 150's class book looking from the angle. Scoring on the hoof is usually 3-4" within approximate if you do it often. On our lease we have a 145" minimum, anything under that is a hefty fine...so you need to score on the hoof pretty good. I think Buskcsore is within a 10" +/- margin.. by no means dont go to panel with it. Only way to do it is by hand to be accurate, then again you will have to shoot it first.

Buckscore is dead on.
