[trapman]

[pickle88]

nice rack ...no brows and thin bases so im sayen.160..........................

[bruin]

182 .….......

[one-shot-wonder]

mid 170's...........story?

[trapman]

its 28 wide

[tinhorse]

Id say solid 180.

[The Silent Stalker]

9.7 small deduction for the offset front forks but almost a perfect 10.

[Looking_4_Jerky]

Beauty. A bit off for the front passenger fork, decent tine length but not super girthy bases. Low 170s?

[pickle88]

have u had it scored trapman

[BlacktailStalker]

No idea but its 50" bigger than any mulie I've ever shot (or seen :() a damn good one and even better if one of the kids shot it !

[Brambles]

185-188, don't think he'll gross 190

[Soup]

Brambles is right on the mark. I was going to say 187, he'd have gone 190ish if his fronts where identicle to the strong side. I'll guess 186 5/8 for a final score.

Had to edit this, cause: Hell of nice deer! Congrats to the hunter... any storey?

[The Dude]

Yuuup 180+

[hunter1947]

Can't get two meserments at the base because the rack has got no gards very nice antlers I must say my guess is 179..

[Brambles]

Just because he's got no brows doesn't mean you don't get 4 mass measurements, you just get the first measurement twice if he's got no browtines. You always get 4 mass measurements, no more , no less.

Thanks Brambles never new that http://www.huntingbc.ca/forum/images/icons/icon11.png I was told that with no guard you only get one measurement thats what I was told by a buddy that scored my black tail set of antlers from the island the antlers scored at 97 points if this is the case then this set of antlers will make the island book with two measurements at the base ,,, I will get the antlers scored from a official scorer ,,,goes to show you learn something every day..

[Springer]

175 would be my guess

Hey Wayne, If you go down to section "H" regarding circumfrences you'll see it addresses the lack of brow points and taking H1 and H2 at the same narrowest place on the mainbeam between the burr and the G2

[Brian011]

Looks about 180 to me, nice buck

[*bcgold*]

Judging by your boy's smile ear to ear..... Big!! Very nice deer.

[frenchbar]

180.........

[BiG Boar]

I'm floored that someone cut the cape and skull! It must not make book or no one would have done that! 174 is my guess because of that.

[Buckzilla]

Not everyone needs the head....
i woulda,simply cause I have enough things to spend $$$ on already without paying anything to harvest beyond any butchering.

sometimes you dont know if its going to make the book in the field. or he could have shot it in the throat and blew a big hole. beauty buck regardless. and not everyone gets deer that size mounted.

i'm in the same boat as you, i wont get anything mounted unless its massive.

[ace76]

If you look very close I think you can see brow tines, but whatever. Pictures can be deceiving, but there would be no hesitation on that big guy. My guess is high 170s, maybe 180 gross

[BCrams]

Mid 178-180 gross and net in mid to high 160's.

[Deeboe]

Looks like the brows are hidden behind the smoke pole... probably about 4 inches or so if they are indeed there. 180's??

[goinghunting]

Id say 176-180 Net, Nice buck!

[BCHunterFSJ]

I'd guess 175; but I've guessed wrong before...

[markt308]

hmmm first thought was over 170 for sure.

[Sitkaspruce]

182 gross, who cars what it nets, as they are for fish and books.

Nice dark chocolate rack with two very happy kids!!!

Great buck in any buddies life!!!

Congrats

Cheers

[IronNoggin]

Tough to call with no head / body to reference.
If I was calling that in-field, I'd say "Won't break 180".

Nice Buck - A Shooter for most. :wink:

Cheers,
Nog

[d6dan]

Net mid 170's

[cameron0518]

are we gonna get the answer? 169 3/8

[pickle88]

are we gonna get the answer? 169 3/8

ya ...wonder if hes even had it scored ...

[Ourea]

I'm on the same page as few guys.
On the other hand I think some guys are way too high........all due respect.
Having said that, this wonderful buck should throw up something in the mid to upper 170's.
An "honest" 28" buck is a hell of a spread.
This is just a great looking set of antlers.

[Reggy]

28 inches wide is impressive, but you only get credit for the length of the longest main beam.

[dogger]

Mid to high 180,s. That is a nice buck!

[Jelvis]

179 gross 173 net
Uneven tines and front are short, deduct at least 6 inches off, won't make BC book minimum.
Jel .. too uneven for trophy class .. check each tine length compared to it's match on the other side.
Front tines are only five inches long on one bank. Need an even ten on all to make book.
It's not 28 inches wide either sorry, or I'm whistling dixy try 25 and a half inches is the real deal.

[hawk-i]

169-171 is my guess.

[BiG Boar]

I guess because I do my own euro skulls and my own butchering I wouldn't look at it as a cost.

I believe he is quoting 28 inch outside spread.

The inside spread credit may equal but not exceed the longest main beam length. For example, if the inside spread is 20 inches, and the longer of the two main beams is 18 inches, then 18 inches is used as the inside spread credit. However, these two measurements will usually be within an inch or so of each other

Dixy, I am sure he is refering that it is an outside spread of 28" not the inside that is for scoring.
Jel is close on the score....foooo surh.

[BlacktailStalker]

If this buck could read what was thought of him, he would have offed himself long before he was shot... and at least 5 people on this thread would have got buck fever and missed this buck and cried about it on HBC !

[sakofinnlight]

183 gross. Dream buck

[dana]

I would guess the buck to gross darn close to the 180 mark. A definate no brainer shooter for most hunters.

kinda looks like the typical muley you killed if i can remember the picture right? yours was close to 180 wasnt it?? the one in the canoe.

[coach]

Looks like a great buck! Even better, it looks as if maybe it was part of an awesome day out with the kids. I'd rather hear that story than debate where the deer may or may not fit in the record books.

What's the story, Trapman?

[Brambles]

OK trapman, lets hear the tale of the tape! Whats the score?

[Weatherby Fan]

180 if not slightly over that,either way very nice deer.
