    Hi all, I have been watching Bow Hunt or Die since I got the ROKU in August and found the channel; and I started reading this forum right after that. I am new to the sport and just finally got the courage to join the forum. My wife bought me a crossbow for my 35th birthday when I decided to take up hunting as a hobby (3 years ago). I don't think she had any idea how much I would actually enjoy the sport or how much time I would devote to it. (:

    Anyways, I have been blessed to take a buck each of the past 2 years. Last year I killed a 1 1/5 year old 6 pointer, and this year I actually killed a pretty descent 8 point on Sept. 27th. I am pretty stoked about it, but have no idea what the buck's score is (he is a trophy for me and going on the wall). I was hoping some of you more experienced hunters could give me a best guess on a score from these photos. Thanks in advance, I am here to learn so drop some knowledge on me.

    Min 120. Right around that would be probably where he would score.
