AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted April 16, 2013 I think he is just over 90" when these pictures were taken. Good tine length....... with a little mass and new growth he should be close to 100". Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ironwolf Report post Posted April 20, 2013 According to what I've read, and from my personal experiences with these deer, This is a nice, but not outstanding buck, definitely a "trophy" but not going to make that magical "100 inch" mark. The ears on this deer are about 5-6 inches long, so when comparing the side view picture it appears the overall beam length should be about 13 inches, which is 32% of the overall scoring....to make a long story short, and not go through all the steps I took to arrive at my conclusion, I would score this buck at about a 77, so unless he adds a lot of mass, and some more length in this years antlers, I think he will still be under 100. I am enclosing a few pictures and links so that it can help in your knowledge on the topic, the last 2 are from a South Carolina Article, but explains the system in a good amount of detail, and can exactly be applied to the coues whitetail as well, as does the scoring sheet in the 3rd link. I hope this helps http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgrecords/bc_scoring_typwhitetail.asp?area=bgrecords&type=Typical+Coues+Whitetail+Deer http://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/deer/scoring.html http://www.dnr.sc.gov/wildlife/deer/pdf/ScoreSheet.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
