Need help with a score

Love the double drop tines, good looking buck

Who cares what the score is. Shoot

High 160's

165

Why do you need a score???

Have a hunter looking for a certain size buck. I know what I think he will score but a second opinion can't hurt.

With that character, I could care less about score, but if pressed, I would say he is high 160s or low 170s gross.

I cant imagine hunting based only on score. But Id say gross 160

Doesn't matter. This one's all about the CHARACTER!!!! That's what I'd tell your hunter.

Do you not have previous years sheds that you can measure to get a better estimate?

Hunting isn't based on score. The price of the hunt is, though. 168.

Fouzman you are correct he is not chasing a certain score deer like I believe some people think. My hunter loved this deer and the score does not matter the score only determines the price. I may be way over scoreing him but I had him going in the 190s which is fine he was just trying to stay under the 200 inch mark since that's the next price jump. And I was a little worried he might slide over the 200 inch mark. This is a really big bodied northern genetic deer so their bodies can lead to being under scored a little. Unfortunately I did not find his sheds this spring to take a better estimate. But hopefully either my hunter comes back soon he did take two bucks this weekend or I get a different hunter that wants him and I can ground check and post pictures and scores soon. I appreciate everyone's comments.

He very well could be that big. I hunted Timberghost Ranch in Iowa for six years and yes, those giant bodied bucks make 180" set of antlers look about 150". Scoring from photos is sooo hard. I'd say I can get within 5 inches on 80% of the deer is see with limited photos like these. The other 20% I'm not even close on Good luck and let us know when you get to put a tape on him.

Not sure what your typical frames are, but mid 80's is where I am at.

I wouldn't expect a per inch price for a deer with that type of character. Why not agree to a price beforehand for that specific deer? Problem solved.

5" on a 130" deer is much different than 5" on a 190" deer or a non-typical. I would claim percentages of error rather than a set number

But I would agree, you are typically pretty accurate IMO

Give him a set price for what you think he will score and then charge or discount by the inch for whatever you are off.

I did claim %. 5" on 80% and clueless on 20%.
