Should we get this guy scored?
My brother shot this WT 2 weeks ago, and a few people have commented that it’s a "Trophy" buck and that we have to get it scored. I have 3 questions,
1 - What is a "Trophy" buck? I can’t find a definition anywhere.
2 - If we were going to get it scored where would we take it and how much does it cost?
3 - Do you think its worth getting scored?
Cheers,

Cabelas does Horn scoring every year you can either do it your self or take it to get it officially scored. Check out the Boone&Crocket Scoring sheet and give it a try yourself for now.

Do it yourself.. It's very easy and actually kinda fun. (Go to the B/C site, they will walk you through it)
Get the boys around here to guess the score.
Nice Buck.

Whereabouts are you located?
If you’re in the Airdrie/Calgary area, I’ll score it for you. Looks like a great buck! I would think that mass would help put it in the 160’s.
Don’t get too concerned about what the score is though. There are many other ways to consider it a “trophy” than just some numbers on a paper.
I’m not an official scorer, but as an outfitter, have scored dozens of mule and whitetail deer. As a typical whitetail, it needs to net score 170” or better to make the book.
To get it officially done costs $35US and you’ve gotta have an official guy do it. The nearest official scorer should be on the Boone and Crockett website, or alternatively, you can go to the AHEIA website and they should be able to hook you up.

Correct me if I am wrong, but it doesn't cost anything to get it scored, only cost the $35USD if you want it entered and it is called a recording fee. That's how P&Y is any ways

Those are very thick beams.... Amazing mass.
Very nice buck for sure. I'd be grinning too. Good job! Where are you located, that would help give you direction on where to get it scored if you want to have it done....?

Nice buck, and a trophy - memory of a hunt.
You will always have questions about score, so do it yourself, following Boone and Crockett instructions found on their website.
I also think the mass of the main beams will help the score.
Certainly beats my best WT.
Official scoring is only worth it if you care about such things. I never cared to enter a deer in big buck competitions. The memories are what matter.

Yeah, thats right. Doesn’t cost anything to score it, unless you’re entering it in the books.
I had my elk officially scored, and keep procrastinating about sending off the form and a check to P&Y.

I’m the lucky brother to put my sight on this big buck and drop him. To be perfectly honest, the first WT buck I have ever harvested. I scored him at 150 based on B&C website scoring sheet and guideline for typical. This included 5 points deduction for the abnormal points on the brow Tines. Regardless scoring is more of interest than anything for me. I was shocked when I crested the hill and caught sight of his rack. He darted out of sight, and I assumed he was gone, but then then came back into sight shorty after. He was darting in and around a group of willows. It turned out he was hot in a doe. He was putting on a bit of a show for the doe and eventually (after I stopped shaking and relaxed enough to calm down for a shot) presented himself by turning 2/3 broadside I pulled the trigger. Right place at the right time. The buck didn’t take 2 steps.

WOW, Nice Job I've noticed some very spectacular Antlers out their this season but I have to say (NICE RACK) lol. Its always good to record keeps like that even for research but the trophy is in the eye of the hunter just my two cents, the real trophy is the experience and how it gets served on my plate!

Great buck,like everyone said try scoring it yourself. I believe there is a 60 day drying period before your score can be official . Either way great job
