    Checked the cams today and this guy has shown himself a few more times since last check. Here are a couple different views. OK....will all the experts chime in with a score?

    Nice buck, but it's tough to make P&Y as a 6 unless you're REAL big. My P&Y scorer gave me a good tip - it takes roughly 19 inches of vertical tine length per side to make book (given an average spread/beams/mass). While he's got good beams and decent mass, he's not spectacular. Tines add up to maybe 15-16" per side so my guess is he falls short by about 5 to 8". Still a nice buck though!

    I actually came up with less than 110" gross. I don't see anything more.

    And yes...he's a FINE buck.

    I'd say he'd gross 115 - 120" with the good main beam length and spread. Missing those tines really hurts tho'.

    Shoot him. He's a cull. ;)

    He is a very unique buck. I've always wanted to shoot a big 6 pointer, but I don't see him making P&Y.

    7 years ago I passed a buck very similar to that, not because he was too small, but there was a 180 class 12 pointer I had seen the night before. I still regret not shooting that 6 pointer.

    lets see.

    He has good Main Beam Lingth......24".......48''
    IS............................................................17.5"
    G 1's..............................................5".......10"
    G 2's............................................10.5".....21"
    Sub total..................................................96.5"

    Your going to need 28 1/2 " of mass.
    It's a great Buck, I would drop the string on him.

    He's old and needs to be culled! I would ground check him. I have a big 6 that is a 100'' net. I would say he has maybe 10'' more...

    Cool. You gave him more on the G2's and G1's than I did (unless you meant 4" total on the G1's).

    Just curious. Thanks.

    I have a question regarding scoring a 6pt for P&Y. Are there 3 "H measurements" or 2? If it's 2, this 6pt scores 111". If there are 3, this 6pt scores 117".

    Looks like a good 120's to me. Great looking 6 pointer.

    How would you get a 4th H measurement (and where would it come from?) from a rack that has 3 points to a side? Just curious
