I should make this a contest.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

I'm in the low 140s camp. I'll say 141.

90-92 down
43-45 up
133-137 so I'm going 135
Nice buck
Congrats!! Thanks, break that down for me. I don't score many deer. the down score is the inside spread + main beam length + mass. Inside spread is taken at the widest point in between the beams perpendicular to the head. Beam length is measured on the outside of each beam starting at the burr out to the tip. Mass is taken between the Burr & G1, G1 & G2, G2 & G3, G3 & G4. If a G4 doesn't exist, it is taken 1/2 way from the G3 to the tip of the antler beam. The up is all your tine lengths added up. Tine length is taken from the top of the beam to the tip of each point.
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Lying is lying. Don't bitch about one doing it and condone another. That's called hypocrisy.

You said Panhandle buck and I always miss them low due to body size. He looks closer to 140 to me based on that. So high 130's from me. He would be a trophy 8 for me for sure. I like them symmetrical! I agree with Bobcat.

Sorry Gentlemen, been at the lease. When I get the Euro back we'll see. I have a plan in mind. It involves beer, food and $10.00 bucks to anyone interested in a pay out pot. If you already provided a score, that's it if you want in.

136-2/8" ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/04/full-53199-386768-img_1292.jpg) That's an end from a wine barrel for reference.

I was 1 6/8 high and Iluv was 1 2/8 low.
No shame in second place to ILUV.
What does he win?

Congrats. I was gonna say 140". I shot one a number of years back with my bow that scored 124 7/8. Yes, I missed the P&Y by 1/8". Yours wasn't quite as wide, but was taller and way heavier. Very nice buck by my standards and mature to boot!!

Thanks. We had a down year for horns no doubt. With the rain we're getting in the Panhandle it's looking like we may have a turn around.
