What would the buck that dropped these have scored?
 

Just wondering. The main beams are both 29 inches.

just an estimation, but i'd say about 150-160 without deductions. maybe. Its hard to tell with pictures of sheds.

I'd guess 145ish with no brow on one side and no g4 on the other.

Id say about 135

No brow tines and 6 inch long times. I would say 130 gross tops.

My biggest rack was a 130 class rack, that one looks bigger.

Measure it up... Tho you'll have to guess on the spread, this should put you in the ballpark.

I agree with this.

That dog couldn't care less! :s2:

Yup the missing brow and g4will hurt.if you go to the boone and crocket web site it shows you how to score a rack.its really not that hard,then you will know how for future referance.its alot easier to score a buck with hands on experiance than it is from looking at a picture.

I agree, 135 sounds about right.

I think low 40s

I'd guesstimate him at 136 net.

Good guesses! I ended up scoring him @ around 141. It's a massive rack. I ended up putting the sheds on a fake skull from Gander Mountain.

Yep, I was going to say 140-150. The lack of a brow and tine really drag the score down like the others said. Big pair though regardless!

What did you use as a inside spread?

X2 indeed! :)

6 inches?? The shortest tine (not counting the broken brow) is 5 lol. The longest is actually 10 6/8. There is only that one tine that is less than 6. I just measured the greatest spread on the inside of the main beams with a measuring tape and came out with 21 6/8 on the head. There's no way to say how big the spread actually was though since they were just sheds. I just made my best guess as to what looked right. The outside spread is just a hair under 24 inches.

I'll just re-score it and take a new picture of it compared to one of the biggest bucks I have ever shot. :D

OK done.

The smaller rack scored in at 130 and change gross. That is one of the biggest bucks I have personally shot. I added it to the picture to compare with the other one.

The big one came in at 145 2/8 with deductions. Overall score was 162 7/8. FOUR of the tines are broken and I did not guesstimate for the broken pieces. That broken brow tine still had a little over an inch left of it so I counted that as a point. All in all it's not a bad deer.

I took it to an official P&Y scoring buddy of mine (The Founder of Bowhunting Magazine) just to look at and he said "That's the kind everybody's after". :D I put some new pics in this reply too.

He'd of scored a place on my wall!

Thanks for the follow-up post. I had figured about 156 gross for the big one, using 20" as an inside spread. I though that some of the "guesstimates" might have left the spread # out :confused0024:

Yea with 29 inch main beams alone there is no way that deer would only gross in the 130s or low 140s cause he has good mass also. I would have guessed him in the mid to upper 160s gross. I have a buck on my wall that has a little over 29 inch main beams and I am here to tell you those are really long main beams. He scored 192 and change

I must really be miss judging because I just don't see 163 inches there.

From the picture alone I don't either and that's why I'm not going to make guesses on pictures any more since this one was actually scored!

Seriously you guys don't see it? I even missed a circumference measurement that would have added 3 more inches. In one of these pics I have a G2 pressed against my shirt. I don't know what else to do lol.

Definitely looks bigger in those pictures than the OP.

29 inch main beams is a pretty big deal. I would still never guess almost 29 inches on that left side.

The main beams is where I'm off. I would have guessed about 25 on the right and 22 on the left......which is about a 12 inch difference.

missing brow tine on the right beam, no G4 on the left, hafta score it as a 3x3, I say 124
RR

I'll just make a video of me measuring them someday soon. It's really no big deal. But yes, 29 inches is no joke. 29 2/8 and 28 6/8. I used a cable and carefully ran the length of the beams from base to tip and then measured it on a measuring tape. Even used pencil! lol.

RR- 3x3? :P It's a 6x4 and I'm not even counting the broken brow. There are 2 stickers that are both at least 1 2/8 on the right base but all that does is hurt the score a little bit. I guess you could call it a 4x4 if you wanted, but not a 3x3. Love this forum lol. :biggrin:

yep, missing browtine on the one side, means the other browtine is a deduct, the other side the g4 is also a deduct, broken tines will also cause some deducts. If the broken brow tine is over 1" then possibly a 4x4

I'm not calling you a liar. You don't have to prove anything to me.

I said the main beams is where I'M off.

Its just shows how easy it is to be way off scoring a picture.

In those last pictures it sure looks pretty big to me. I can't imagine it missing P&Y with those beams and mass.

I can see where it would reach the 150-160 Range....gonna mean a lot more to You if You happen to shot it the following Deer Season and have the previous Sheds! ;)

Sometimes it's tough to judge a picture. Look at this photo of Tim Beck's 305 inch giant. Its main beams are 29 6/8 and 30 4/8! It doesn't look that big by this photo at all, at least that's my opinion. I have seen other pictures of it though that made me a believer lol.

Yeah I wouldn't have guessed those main beams that long either.

My buck this year (in the picture to the left) had 25 inch main beams and scored 168 5/8

That's a really nice deer! I wish I could get one like that. Maybe someday. I've seen 160-170 class deer in the woods but they never EVER stop when I need them to. A couple years ago I could have easily gotten a 180 class but that would have been cheating. It was walking down the middle of the road and I was right behind it in a vehicle. After a little while it walked off the road and into the woods towards a doe. I think one of our neighbors got it. My neighbor across the road said his neighbor shot a huge buck a few days later and that's right where I saw this one. One of these days... One can only dream lol.

i got two 160s ive killed and that deer is rite there with em from what i can tell

I would say they score about 150ish before deductions
