This dude literally fell within 15 yards of the shot
A deer is a deer! nice 2 pointer.

I enjoy estimating B&C (Boone and Crockett) scores for white tail;

  • I like to practice so when I am in the field I can estimate on the fly.
  • It is fun to see what folks are shooting and engage.
  • All my scores are based on photos you posted to here, thus it may not be accurate. Normal B&C scores are done with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. I do not go to the 1/8 inch. I do whole inches and go off photos and use things in the photos for approximate references!
  • Also, I do gross score and don't do the whole subtract for atypical stuff.
  • Of note, circumference (mass) is tough to gauge off of photos



Based on your photo, my estimate B&C for your deer is:


31 points.

Due to error, I would add another 2-5 points or so, final estimated B&C of 35 points.

Around here that's called an 11 pointer.
Way to go!
