Do you guys use the B&C score sheet here?

B&C scoresheet

Yes

So, there is no measurement for "mass" but some guys quote this when they score a deer. Why do they use that terminology?

Mass = circumferences

Yes, The "H" measurements

I notice it has 3 width measurements. Do you average these or what?

The only one that factors into the score is inside spread

No. The tip to tip and outside spread are not added. They are for identification. A lot of people add one or both, anyway, which explains a lot of inflated scores.

Just fill everything in and add what it tells you to add together.

I'd like to know the algorithm behind the score. I've found a pdf of the front of the score sheet but the instructions are on the reverse side.

As for width, I've heard some say it is to the center of the main beam, but the drawing with the instructions doesn't show that. It also says the width score can't exceed longest main beam length.

I would welcome anyone scoring this buck and showing their calculations

I use the widest inside measurement

Is he 11 or 12? Nice buck

Well, the taxi who scored him said that was a twelfth point but it didn't look like an inch long to me. Let's say it is.

MB 22" x2=44"
Width 18.5
G1 4"&2"= 6"
G2 6"x2 = 12"
G3 8" x2 = 16"
G4 7"x2= 14"
G5 1"x2 = 2"
H1 3"x2 = 6"
H2 2.5"x 2 = 5"
H3 2"x2 =4"
H4 2"x2 = 4"
131.5"
Now this is rough scoring off of a pic, which we all do on trail cams. The angle is hard for me to really tell alot of detail on tine length. To simplify i treated him as if he were symetrical.

I will be picking up my mount tomorrow and will let you know how this compares to reality. I forgot to take notes when the taxidermist scored it.

I would say mid 140s hard to judge tine length off that pic though so that's a rough guess

They have a app for that. It's called scoremyrack.

Sure, but the hard part of scoring antlers posted here isn't doing the arithmetic, it's making an estimate of inside width and main beam length from a photo.

Great looking buck

Width is measured between the beams. People like to measure tines to the middle of the beam, too, and that's wrong.

Measure the inside spread, straight across, at its widest point.
Take 4 circumference measurements per side, between the base and brow tine, then between each tine, all at the smallest point. On an eight point, the 4th measurement will be halfway between the last tine and the tip of the main beam.
Measure each main beam.
Measure each tine, starting at the base, where the main beam would be if the point weren't there.
Add it all up. That's your gross B&C typical score. For a nontypical, just measure the length of all the NT points and add that, as well.

I doubt he will make mid 140s but he's a great buck none the less!

Okay, I got my mount back and measured it as well as I could.

Widths: 13 3/4, 19 3/4, 17 3/4

Mainbeams: 20 3/4, 22 1/8

Points:

Left: 4 3/4, 4 7/8, 8, 6 1/4, 1 = 46 5/8

Right: 2, 4 1/8, 7 1/4, 5 7/8, 4 1/4 = 44

Girths:

Left: 4 1/4, 3 1/2, 3 1/4, 3 1/4 = 14

Right: 4 1/2, 3 1/2, 3, 3 = 13 5/8

Total: 17 6/8 + 46 5/8 + 44 + 14 + 13 5/8 = 136

The taxidermist scored it at 139

In doing this scoring I made the assumption that an inch of width, mainbeam, point length, and girth are all treated the same way, none counts more than another, is that right?

Correct.

I'd say you got it right. Or close enough, anyway.

Yep looks good to me.
