Guess the Score!

[Hix]

Just to clear up any confusion before it starts [emoji23]

Now, let’s discuss taking mass measurements. There are always 4 mass measurments taken on each the left and the right antlers. The H1 measurement is the smallest circumference between the burr and the G1. Check the circumference at several locations between the burr and base of the G1 and record the smallest circumference.



The H2 measurement is the smallest circumference between the G1 and G2. The H3 measurement is the smallest circumference between the G2 and G3. The H4 measurement is the smallest circumference between the G3 and G4. If the antlers you are scoring are from a typical 10-point (or more) rack, the measurements are simple to take.

Boone & Crockett Scoring Terminology

However, if you are scoring an 8-point rack, there is no G4! In this case, the H4 measurement must be taken from half-way between the G3 and the tip of the main. Simply measure the main beam from the center of the G3 to the tip of the beam, divide by 2, and mark the beam this distance from the end. Take your H4 circumference and your mass measurements for that side are completed.

Good question?

All antlered deer get 4 mass measurements for each side.

This. Even a spike gets 4 H measurements.

H4 measurements
Left: 2 7/8
Right: 2 7/8

Should bring the total to 129 1/2

I didn't think 8s got that 4th circumference measurement!

Revise my earlier post... I did not give him too much mass!

[Bonehead1283]

I usually don't even attempt it anymore because its crap shoot as to if the OP is generous with their tape or not..and feelings tend to get hurt..

Lol none of that here... doesn't matter to me, not my deer

Alright guys here it is! Looks like dustoffer had the closest with his guess.... Total came to 127 6/8.. Most everyone was in the ball park. The breakdown of the measurements are below:

Beam Spread: 15 0 / 8

Main Beam
(L): 20 4 / 8 (R): 21 4 / 8

Points

Point 1
(L): 2 7 / 8 (R): 4 6 / 8

Point 2
(L): 8 7 / 8 (R): 7 3 / 8

Point 3
(L): 9 2 / 8 (R): 10 4 / 8


Additional
(L): 1 6 / 8 (R): 0 0 / 8

Circumferences

Burr to Pt. 1
(L): 5 1 / 8 (R): 4 7 / 8

Pt.1 to Pt.2
(L): 3 7 / 8 (R): 3 7 / 8

Pt.2 to Pt.3

(L): 3 7 / 8 (R): 3 6 / 8



Gross Score
(L): 56 1 / 8 (R): 56 5 / 8

TOTAL SCORE: 127 - 6 / 8 Inches

Where is the 4th circumference measurement? Even 8pt should have a 4th. If there is no G4, the measurement is taken half way between G3 and end of main beam.

Already covered that... read a few posts back

I'm happy being off by 3/8"

But is the old lady?

[bphillips]

So now my quick eyeballing was only off 2.5"


Not too shabby lol
