Score question

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

128 max

 

[TNRifleman]

The first number that popped into my head when I say it was 125.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

128-134 imo

 

[Sasquatch Boogie Outdoors]

117 5/8

I have 2 deer mounted and neither would probably score 100, have killed bigger but may never mount another. I don't regret either. that's a nice deer and up to him. prices were a lot lower when I had mine done. Lot of factors to consider but I like a skull mount on a nice piece of wood.

 

[Trey13]

Yeah I can't see 140 let alone 140+

I'd say if it got close to 130 I'd be surprised. But a beautiful deer.

That neck screams mature buck. Only he can decide to mount it, and if he doesn't have any/many mounted, I would not let an arbitrary minimum gross score get in the way of my decision.

 

[DoubleRidge]

Nice buck...long main beams add some...I see 130" gross....he would make a beautiful shoulder mount.

 

[Shim71]

My initial thought was 125

 

[Volbuck777]

I'll be the odd ball here and say I think he'll be right at 140". Great mass, great tine length on his 2's and 3's, those beams wrap in to add more length. I think he's 135-142".

I see 137

 

[Volbuck777]

Do the rough math.

18" beam x2
4" brow x2
9" G2 x2
9" G3 x2
2" G4 on right side so x1
4.5" base x2
3.5" C2 x2
3" C3 x2
3" C4 on right, 2" on left
15" inside spread

That gives a rough guesstimate of 124".

IMO it would be very difficult to fudge the numbers to get another 16" for 140", but only way to know for sure is measure it. It's easy to do. Takes a couple minutes and is kinda fun. If he wants to mount it, mount it. Would make an attractive mount. And congrats on a great buck!

I think your off on the beams 2-3 inches, otherwise I believe that's close. I'd add 6 Jmo.

It's completely possible. Hard to measure from a picture on a phone screen.

 

[Shanman]

Great buck!……score doesn't matter as much as friend memories.
Congrats!!!

 

[deerhunter10]

My guy mounts for 325. Not a 140 deer from the angle there imo.

 

[XCR-2]

No length, no mass, no spread. But he's a dang good deer and glad he's no longer with us!

 

[Sasquatch Boogie Outdoors]

I'm wondering what y'all think this deer scores. My brother shot it, and I'm happy for him. He's happy, but he asked if I would shoulder mount it. My response was if it was 140-150" because apparently shoulder mounts are $850 now .. he comes back and says the taxidermist and another guy said this deer will go 140+… I've not seen it in person and I could be wrong, but I don't see it.

Hey pal, if every time you look at that mount it reminds you of an awesome hunt, mount it! It ain't all about antlers. it's about the experience. He is a beaut and definitely one to be proud of!!! If the hunt was great, hang him on the wall!!

 

[Rackseeker]

I wouldn't let how many inches the rack measures determine if I mounted a buck or not. If I liked how the buck looks or if it was a special hunt
I would mount it. I have done euro mounts and even cut the antlers off of larger rack bucks than some of the ones I have mounted.

 

[campbell24]

That's a fine deer, especially w a bow--guys all around me mount for 400-450, I'd mount that sucker for sure so he can remember him from now on. Congrats!

 

[JeepKuntry]

I would say 128-132. Shoulder mounts can be less. Tim Rixie does good work and is $550. We use him for deer we kill in Hardeman Co.

 

[Turkeychaser]

Great deer!
