    So I just scored that buck but thinking I might of messed up maybe. Came up with 139 4/8. This being the first one I've scored was kinda surprised at that so idk if it's right or not. Followed the scorecard off pope and young and the tutorial off here. So idk got the skull off cause I'm thinking of doin a European mount so may re check everything.

    Did you add all of the spreads in? Only inside spread is in the score, others are just for who knows what

    I would say it was the spread score then, I added them all in. Thanks


    I see that now after looking at score card again. So I just added everything up wrong

    It looks like you have it figured out, that only the inside spread counts. Congrats on your buck!

    Thanks guys. I knew I was off somewhere and looking at sheet on a phone didn't help, but got it now. I also forgot to subtract the differences in left and right but I caught myself in that ha.

    I did the same thing last year while scoring my first buck. For a couple days I had a 180 something inch deer and kept thinking no way that's right lol than realized I added in a few too many numbers.
