Sorry for the bad quality pics as they’re scanned. This is my bowkill from 03. This deer was officially scored. What’s your guess?

that deer has a ton of mass copper
What month did you shoot him on?? Im going to say 148 2/8″ gross 
Its hard to tell but it looks like an 8 point??? correct me if im wrongJanuary 2, 2009 at 10:32 am #46190146 2/8 gross 140 1/8 net
January 2, 2009 at 2:38 pm #46193158 Gross, 152 net
January 3, 2009 at 1:47 am #46204WOW
Surprisingly less than 10″ of deduct ??? I figured about -3″ on G1’s, minus less than 1″ on G2’s, about -3″ on G3’s, about minus 9″ on missing left side G4 ??? For a grand total of about 15″ deduct, give or take an 1/8… 
Go figure…. 
Either way, like said “a real Beauty”

January 3, 2009 at 3:13 pm #46206Copper
I will say 161″ gross, 157″ net Heavy horns for sure big G
January 3, 2009 at 9:27 pm #46209Great looking buck CT!
I’ll guess 149 3/8 gross and 144 7/8 net.January 4, 2009 at 5:05 am #46215Honestly, I don’t even remember what my net score was. He is a 8pt taken Nov. 3rd. of 2003. He grossed 152 4/8″. I think he had about 8″ of deductions. This deer will always be the one I remeber as it’s my biggest, I took him on the ground in a cornfield walking to my stand in a snow storm. This property has a stipulation that I leave it alone a week before gun season for the gun hunters but I asked the hunters if I could hunt a few more days after getting a few pics of him. It turned out I shot it the day after I asked. Never had seen this deer other than trail cam pics. Some awefully close guesses for crappy pics!
January 5, 2009 at 5:18 pm #46237I’ll keep the post going. Here’s a buck I shot back in 1983. It was my very first time deer hunting and the very first deer that I ever saw in the woods.
He’s an 11 pointer.Take a guess – I do have official gross and net measurements.
January 5, 2009 at 5:30 pm #46238hmmm tough one brad….i will say 138 5/8 gross, 130 1/8 net as a 10 point
January 5, 2009 at 6:04 pm #46240148 Gross
142 NetAwesome first deer! Must have thought,, dang, this is easy!

My dad was with me and when he saw the buck lying on the ground, he said “Son, it will be a very long time before you see another buck like this!” I laughed at him! 
Well… little did I know how right he was and I found out about 15 years later. 
January 5, 2009 at 6:39 pm #46243I will have to say 142 gross, 138 net.
January 5, 2009 at 10:13 pm #46250129 2/8 gross and 125 3/8 net
January 5, 2009 at 10:57 pm #46252What an impressive trophy room you must have Brad!
My guesses: 130 5/8 (Gross) 126 3/8 (Net)!?! 
January 6, 2009 at 3:31 am #46254Gross 132, net 125.

January 6, 2009 at 5:39 am #46262Being I have a difficult time judging deducts. I’ll say a gross of 133.
January 6, 2009 at 4:40 pm #46271And the closest guess goes to Walleyebuster
(he guessed gross 148 gross and 142 net).This buck officially measured out at 152 Gross and 145 Net
Pretty deceiving isn’t it? The buck was actually scored by Jack Naylor (IDO Field Staff and Official B&C Scorer).
Here’s the details if you want to see where you underestimated it:
Right Side
Main Beam 23 6/8
G1 – 7
G2 – 9 2/8
G3 – 8 6/8
G4 – 4 1/8
H1 – 4 4/8
H2 – 4 1/8
H3 – 4
H4 – 3 4/8Left Side
Main beam 23 1/8
G1 – 6 5/8
G2 – 10 4/8
G3 – 8 5/8
G4 – 2
H1 – 4 3/8
H2 – 4 3/8
H3 – 4
H4 – 3 2/8
Abnormal Point 1 7/8Inside Spread 16 1/8
OK – who’s going to post the next buck for us to guess?
January 6, 2009 at 5:25 pm #46267HA! I win with the closest. And shame on the rest of you for thinking Brad’s FIRST deer was so small!
January 7, 2009 at 3:29 am #46279The beams got me….
and now that I look, it has pretty good mass all along the main beams Those inches add up

And here I thought it was because you had never shot a big buck!
January 7, 2009 at 4:14 am #46281I’ll give you all a shot at my 2004 10 pointer. Most of you may remember when I posted this buck after I harvested it. Since then I had it officially scored for Pope and Young by Steve Ashley who had just scored the Becker Buck.
Buck on the right…. Other buck (12 point)I shot back in 1999. We named him, Morphadite! Steve Ashley scored it also because he wanted to see what it’d score but came up short of Pope and Young one inch of typical 125 inches! Steve couldn’t believe it.
I just like it because it’s a typical and nontypical all in one deer! 
January 7, 2009 at 5:24 am #46284i would say the gross score of that 10 point is 145 4/8″ and net would go 139 2/8″
On the other hand, that 12 point DOES NOT make P & Y?!??! January 7, 2009 at 6:02 am #46287Wow Brad, I was guessing a 14″ inside and tallest tine maybe 8″ Great buck!
January 7, 2009 at 4:53 pm #46300Great looking buck Zimmy!
I’ll guess 154 3/8 gross and 148 7/8 net.January 7, 2009 at 6:26 pm #46307I’m going to guess 151″ gross. Great trio of deer!!
January 7, 2009 at 6:37 pm #46308I also came up with 151″ gross. Great deer!

January 7, 2009 at 6:44 pm #46310155 EVEN gross, maybe add 1/8 to it.
January 7, 2009 at 7:01 pm #46311Nice bucks Zimmy!
The ten-point looks to have very good symmetry! My guesses: 152 5/8 (Gross) 150 3/8 (Net)!?! January 8, 2009 at 10:07 pm #46369Sorry for the late results guys. I lost a good friend this week. I was told he went to bed with no problems and passed away sometime during the evening. Too young to leave us at the young age of 53.
My buddy Navy Davy will be missed. 
Now for the results. This boy did not have much for deduction which most of you picked up on!
The gross score of this 10 pointer was 156 4/8 and after deductions he netted 154 0/8 inches. Good job, guys!
