Kentucky buck tag filed!

Well that didn't take long. This main frame 10 showed up on camera about 2 weeks ago and I began to lay out my plan of attack. I must have emailed him the plan because he followed it to the letter. He stopped broadside at 10 yards and the Hoyt did its job perfectly. He ran about 40 yards and pilled up. This is on my private farm in Kentucky and has become my own little deer haven!

Huge dear, maybe trophy from the looks of it (160 is minimum score for B&C),

I enjoy estimating B&C (Boone and Crockett) scores for white tail;

  • I like to practice so when I am in the field I can estimate on the fly.
  • It is fun to see what folks are shooting and engage.
  • All my scores are based on photos you posted to here, thus it may not be accurate. Normal B&C scores are done with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. I do not go to the 1/8 inch. I do whole inches and go off photos and use things in the photos for approximate references!
  • Also, I do gross score and don't do the whole subtract for atypical stuff.
  • Of note, circumference (mass) is tough to gauge off of photos

Based on your photo, my estimate B&C for your deer is:

168 points.

Due to error, I would add another 5-10 points or so, final estimated B&C of 172 points.

The mass is again tough, but I think the mass of each main beam really put this one over, and if I am over estimating, i apologize. Mass per side I think for each of the 4 measurements for the mass is at least 4 inches for the smallest one, so it really put points on this one IMO. GREAT DEER.
