What did it actually score?
I'm still learning how to score bucks i would have figured 138-145 area?
Either way definitely a great buck to be proud of and was a awesome stand setup.
It definitely could be around there but I try to underestimate as much as possible. It had a 19” inside spread (probably around 21-22” if you measured outside to outside of the antlers) if that helps at all. I haven’t had it scored yet but it doesn’t matter a lot to me. That being said, I’ll score it once it’s back from the taxidermist (likely mid to late august as he’s booked up and does fantastic work). That’s a skill I would like to improve upon as well.
Thanks as well for the compliments on the setup! My friend Alex (guy in the “World’s Okayest Hunter” shirt) shot his first buck out of that stand exactly a week later off of the same pattern. It was a 4 1/2-5 1/2 year old, gnarly-tined 8 point
