I was told the last time I had an official scorer measure a buck for me that the brow tines can be measured from either side of the beam. Taking the longest measurement as the score. The rest of the tines are scored from the outside of the beams. I believe the reasoning is because most points...

Congrats! I just sent in my picture and story last week. Fingers crossed!

I shot my buck this season on October 29th in Wisconsin with a bow. I just had him officially scored last night. As a ten point he netted out at 164 0/8, with a gross of 171 6/8. He has a broken left G4. If he had not broken the G4 he would have grossed 177 0/8, and netted 174 4/8 assuming that...

I harvested my biggest buck ever on Oct 29th 2012 with a Bow. I had never seen this buck live. I have his matched set from 2009 I believe. I have one trail cam pic from August 2012. In the cam pic he had all of his tines in velvet. When I harvested him he was missing his left G4. Here is the...

Totally understand. A STUD of an 8 point either way!

After you posted the score I had to go back and look at the pics again. I guess they are really deceiving. A head on look would have revealed the inside spread. But from the pics the tine length is really exaggerated. I have been off before, But I really blew that one! I would love to see some...

I really think this deer is bigger than most think. He looks to have 25" beams, and maybe 11-12", 2's and 3's. I know you loose some mass with 8 pointers, but I have this deer very close to 160. He will go 20+ on spread I believe. If he is 68-70 per side plus 20 inside that is 156-160 right? I...

Sorry to hear about that shot. Was the shot straight up from the shoulder or, or forward? 6-7" of penetration may be enough to get to one lung, but I think your reaction would have been different. You could be way up into the neck muscle or loin if up very high. Hard to tell how high unless you...

My taxidermist told me to use a warm damp cloth on the hide, and to apply neats foot oil to the nose and tear ducts once a year. I have been doing this to all my heads since 1994, and they look great. I have 4 heads and the oldest is 16 years and is holding up excellent. He also said to use...

Although this is my first post, I have been visiting this site since 2003. I believe that Dbltree is doing exactly what needs to be done! I hope this thread helps to open the eyes of future potential trespassers to think twice before crossing the line!! archery20
