Probably not a Booner, but definitely a shooter. Good luck on him this year.

Doesn't look to be a Booner but definitely P&Y!
No matter, a stud of a buck, good luck hope you get the chance to tape him.

Nice mature buck and even better pics. I don't know what he'll score but here's a tip. From measurements I've taken, adult bucks ear tip to ear tip are around 16in give or take. the second and third pics are perfect for getting antler width on this deer which is, lets say 17in.(trying to be generous) and that's not enough to get this guy up into the booner class.
The length is there in the tines and with the kickers he might make 160gross but I wouldn't bet on it. His main beams don't appear to extend beyond his nose (another tip) and I'm not seeing the mass around his bases that most really great bucks have. That said, he is a really nice buck and I would kill him if he gave me a chance.

That said, he is a really nice buck and I would kill him if he gave me a chance. Steve Spread is way overrated, in my opinion. The difference between a 16 inch wide deer and a 20 inch wide deer is 4 inches total. That's it. It's one measurement. Tine length adds up fast and mass adds up REAL fast. If you want to pad the stat sheet, mass is where it's at. |

You due realize all H(mass)measurement are taken at the narrowest place between points???....IMO the main beams, tine length and Spread is what adds up quick. |

spread is very important IMO. It is measured 3 times: tip to tip spread, greatest spread and inside spread of main beams. add the final spread calculation to main beam length and tine length and you have a real quick idea of the quality of the antlers. Mass/diameter gets you "over the top".

You might take the spread measurement three times but the only ONE that counts is the inside spread!

Inside spread is the only measurement that is actually counted in the score. The other two spread measurements are not included in the score. The difference in score between what most people consider a narrow and wide deer is usually only 4-6 inches. Could that make the difference between Booner and a near miss. Of course it could. But tine length, number of tines, and mass are much, much bigger numbers. That's all I'm saying.
