2008 Buck 223 6/8ths

[MTQUIVER]

Looking at the bucks picture you need to re measure because you listed his g2 as 4-6" and they are both longer than that. The g2 on the right side looks to be about 15-16" so I think the numbers are messed up.

I think if your mass measurements, inside spread, and main beam lengths are correct- you are looking at about a 188-189" buck. I am just guessing on the G2's with a 16" and 11" measurement. If those are close you are right close to 188-189" which is an awesome buck, especially with a bow.

The outside spread and tip to tip measurements are just for record and not part of the overall score. You just add up the columns on the right of the score sheet.

MTQ is right.......your G2's are much longer than what you have listed, IMO. Additionally, the outside spread, tip-to-tip spread are for statistical data only and do not factor into the score. B&C did this when they designed the system many years ago because they actually thought these animals may be headed to extinction and they wanted the data to refer to.

I've attached your buck photo with a guide for your review to see which points are which. Once you add both sides, the abnormal points (listed as "AB" on the photo), and the inside spread you'll get an overall gross score of antler grown. The official net score would be after subtracting the difference between the two respective sides. (Example-the right side has a G3 but the left side does not, so that would come out to 0/8" for G3)

What I like about this buck is the width and exceptional length of the main beams......just an awesome looking buck. Hope the edited photo helps.

Roy,

That's a great way to display all the measurements. What program did you use to do that?

You are counting the projection off of the G-2 on the left side as an abnormal point, rather than calling it the G-3? I believe I would score it as the G-3 since it's in approximately the correct location, albeit at an odd angle (but so is the whole G-2 for that matter).

Main beams are HUGE on this buck!

That' how it was measured is that it had a G3, Like I said, I measured it and a reputable person and that's the score they gave me and that is what I used, then I scored it and came close, but I did miss measure the other night, and I assumed that since the columns lined up, you put the score in there. I was told 223 6/8th so I posted it. I was pumped because I allready have one that is 193 6/8ths.
BTW the g2 is 18 right and 14 on the left, also there is an AB off the G3 on the right that is over an inch.

I am learning

Also I am not interested in a net score, I am just a Gross guy

Marvin:

The point off of the G2 on the left side appears to come off the side of G2 which would make it an abnormal point. If you look at the three photographs Lynn attached you'll see the point coming off the side. Also, when you look at the overall antler structure, it's natural structure is that of a 3x4 with extras, IMO. It's tough with photos and not seeing the rack in person, but that's how it looks to me.
