Best of luck fellas, sounds like team is on some for sure. Here's a few daytime shots of my buck. Little man was having time of his life.
First buck in 6 years with a bow. I saw him about 150 yards off in the hay field with some does. I grunted at him a few times and he came running. To be honest I didn't think he would respond, but when he did it for me pumped. He came in worked a scrape I was setting over then gave me a 30 yard broadside shot. He ran 40 yards and fell over. Quick question for yall about the scoring. How many mass measurements will I have on a 6pt? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk
@Mudlake3 heck yeah man!!!! Way to get that first bow buck!!! I'm almost certain all bucks get 4 measurements for mass. Let me see i know a few great posts help that some of us put together ill dig one up
Actually Mud had this saved on phone just for guys with scoring questions. https://www.buckmanager.com/2008/01/17/mass-and-beam-measurements/ They explain it quite well under mass measuring spot.
Congrats man! It’s always nice to get that monkey off your back. Great picture as well. To answer your question, every buck will get 4 mass measurements. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I can put him there, but I like to wait for the official green score from the taxidermist. If he doesn't call me this week I'll run over and lay tape on him myself. I rough measured around 143, but did not take time to tape off lines and antlers like I would if wanting precision.
Sounds good Ty. You answered my real question. I was mostly curious about what he might score. My son in law and I were guessing around 145.
Yeah I'm usually 2-3 inches low with my quick conservative tape over the years. I suspect he'll gross around 145 as well. Such a cool and unique buck with a big frame, but shorter tine lengths and spread make his "inches" less.
