[QUOTE="Speedwell-Hunter, post: 5432838, member: 22463"] Huge dear, maybe trophy from the looks of it (160 is minimum score for B&C), I enjoy estimating B&C (Boone and Crockett) scores for white tail; [LIST] [*]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 [/LIST] Based on your photo, my estimate B&C for your deer is: [B]168 points.[/B] Due to error, I would add another 5-10 points or so, final estimated B&C of [B]172 points. [/B] The mass is again tough, but I think the mass of each main beam really put this one over, and if I am over estimating, i apologize. Mass per side I think for each of the 4 measurements for the mass is at least 4 inches for the smallest one, so it really put points on this one IMO. GREAT DEER. [/QUOTE]
