Guess the Gross Score - 08/14/14 11:52 PM

I see hunters asking alot of you to age and score pics of their deer. Here is the buck I shot last season. Just for fun, and to test you, guess the gross on him. I think I have decent enough pictures of him to assist you. One hint...he was only 14" wide.

Ok,color me impressed. txshntr, BruceWilliams and Pope&Young were all the closest at 136. But txshntr, you were almost dead on with all the measurements...wow!

The buck grossed 135 6/8.

Thanks also for all of the great comments about my buck and mount. He has a nice barnwood backing, plaque and is hanging on my wall. Special shout out to Rut Country Taxidermy and Johnny Terrel out of Boyd Texas. He did a beautiful job on my deer, had it back to me in exactly 3 months and I paid just over $500 for everything. You can tell he loves what he is a super guy. Hopefully I get the chance to send him another one this year.

Great deer with a very unique rack. They did a great job on the mount too up

We all get lucky sometimes...I am just glad I was closer than STX was banana

Re: Guess the Gross Score - 08/16/14 12:33 AM

So I do have two questions for the experts out there because I simply don't know. How many actual points do you consider my buck to have? I count 13, with the 14th broken off. But I don't know what qualifies for an actual official point??? And is he considered typical or non-typical?

Thanks in advance.

Official point has to be one inch and longer than the width of its base.
