[QUOTE="13pt, post: 5150995, member: 19602"] Ok time for the reveal. You were all pretty close to each other on guesses from 150-162”. So, when I first started attempting to score this buck off trail camera pics (while in velvet), I had him mid-to-low 150’s, as did a couple other buddies that are great at scoring. After collecting more pics, especially out of velvet, I trimmed him down to about 150”, and I’m usually conservative. Well, this one stumped me, even with collection of pics I had to study. And it’s a classic example of how hard it is to score trophy bucks without putting the tape to it. Final official gross score 143 2/8. He loses a lot on the shorter 21” main beams and just under 15” spread. He certainly has the mass in spades, and apparently that’s what throws everyone off on scoring. He’s still the largest registered muzzleloader kill in White County last time I looked. I just wanted to share this one to give you a classic example of how hard it is to score from pictures. I’ve learned over the years to score as close as you can, then deduct 10” and you might get close. Thanks for the guesses 👍 [/QUOTE]
