Really wish this scoring system could be updated to a displacement or area type measurement. I have a really spindly horned buck on the wall in my shop that scores well, and I have an extremely heavy horned buck i killed hanging next to it that you would swear on your life would score way better but the spindly horned buck has him beat! Where as if it was some sort of an area or displacement measurement the heavy horned buck would score double what that spindly horned buck would! All about a true total amounts of bone on there head rather then a few tape measurements....
I despise the B&C scoring system. Drying period, and Deductions are B.S. What the deer was while living and breathing should be what the score is. Green Gross score, should be it's official numbers. Only thing I Agree with are having 2 categories. (Typical / Non typical)
I never even thought of it that way before, and you are absolutely right. the "living" animal is the measurement that should count, most definitely. good point.
I have a massive rack, multiple measuring tools, and a couple rolls of trophy tape... all sitting in the corner for like 2 years now un touched. Watched dozens of videos on how to score deer, and have still yet to figure out how to score that rack. What more do you want to know about scoring deer? Lol.
Cant use fabric tapes for official measurement's as the fabric has the ability to stretch giving you a false reading. Hence the reason for the steel tape.
His total score is wrong. The antler they measured is 66 inches. That X2 is 132 inches of antler plus inside spread of 16 6/8 is 148 6/8. The old guy said it grossed 137 and netted 135. With 2 inches of deductions it would be 146 6/8. The antler was as follows: 24 4/8 main beam. 4 brown tine 7 g2 9 g3 6 g4 4 1/8 h1 3 6/8 h2 4 h3 3 3/8 h4 Equals 66 inches of antler on one side. That times 2 is 132. Plus Inside spread of 16 6/8 is 148 6/8. I do not get the old scorer's logic
I'm sure you know what your talking about but this video was very poorly filmed, for us who don't know how to do this, we need to see exactly where you put the tape measure.
I found a buck skull on my property in WV. 123 inches... Is that good? (Not too familiar with deer hunting) I would be happy as hell if it would've been 140+ LOL! His age is I'd say about 4 - 4 1/2. c:
....because when give them all the common denominator, an eighth, you can quickly add all your scores instead of doing a conversion from half or quarter back to eighths.
Good instructional video on how to score a deer. I just couldn't make it through the whole thing cause the constant smacking after every thing the gentleman that is scoring the deer says. Should probably spit the cough drop out before you do a video.
Jaden Yoder 150 inches is insane! My dad shot a 8pt buck that was actually pretty big. Just under 100 inches. I think he scored 97 3/8 iirc. (Scored at home, not official.
The taller guy , the host, doesn’t have a functional right hand. I remember being amazed when I first saw home doing all the outdoors stuff he does with only one hand
Jack B all the deductions and stuff. The antlers are only so many inches long. Two tines not being the exact same size down to the 1/8th of an inch so you subtract inches is kinda bs don’t you think?
How would you score a 9 pointer with 3 score-able points on one side and 4 score-able points on the other? Would the length of the of the extra point on the one side be a deduction? Please let me know. Thanks
Whoever decided to measure in eights should be put in prison for life this is not right. It sounds like the people who made this rule couldn’t add or subtract different denominator at all
LucasWerewolf it would be easier if you grew up around the metric system, learned metric system in school, and metric system was the only system you understood. In American most people don’t understand metric system because they only use the standard system, so it wouldn’t be easier for them with cm and mm.
I've lived in Canada all my life, we are apparently metric, but we aren't taught that or ever use it in any job I have ever had. inches, feet, yards, etc. only thing we really use that's metric is our speed limits, we do km/hr. and our gas is in litres, not gallons.
I don't believe in deductions if a deer grew it measure it it counts ! Think of it this way if your pecker is 8inched long when hard and it bends to the left and the left side measures 7 1/2 on the left because of the bend it effing 8 inches it ain't no 7 1/2
7:43 When you ask a guy how the hunt went down and he responds with “ well i was in my spot he walked out and i shot him” is lying and probably killed the deer illegally 100% of the time. Still a gorgeous buck none the less
This guy literally said 24 4/8. My man, that is 24 1/2. I get that everything has to be to the nearest 1/8th. But for real you couldn't just say half? Or the time he said 0/8ths. WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST GIVE US THE WHOLE NUMBER ALONE??? WE WOULD HAVE GOT THE POINT.
In the end, he is going to have to add/subtract all the fractions. In order to do that quickly/easily, they all have to have the same denominator (bottom number), so taking all measurements in increments of eights makes the math easier in the end.

Something my Dad always told me after shooting a buck that I thought was bigger than it was.
" you can't eat the antlers Ty"
Always nice to have a trophy lying around though
Can easily shoot yearlings not fun after u shoot them n doe for years u can eat trophy bucks not good as doe but can be eaten still ok
Can mount them sonny feel good your not shooting forks n fawns
Yeah this scoring is resulting in dumb shit happening.
You can sell them and buy food with it though 🤔
reminds me of doing taxes.

@@terrydonovan6888 You're entitled to your opinion just as he's entitled to his.
@@terrydonovan6888 you still have to have the fucking deer to prove it. Jesus, are you foreal.
Deductions are bullshit! If he grew it, score it.
I score mine by how many lbs of deer burger I get in my freezer. A nice rack to show off is a bonus.
Hell yea...boone & crockett or sci...eff off
That’s nice, why are you here then ?
Great video! I’ve always wanted to know how to score a buck!
How to score a whitetail deer: th-cam.com/video/QbBLDosa5P4/w-d-xo.html Thanks Tony hope you also find this helpful
Thank you. Love these older videos
Imagine having that one piece of the tine break off so it doesn’t score 185
WOW....
Does not matter. I have never seen anyone eat an antler.
Just a city slicker from LA that wants to know how to score deer
Dont give up. I am new to this as well.
Am I the only one who knows there is no such thing as 2/8? it is called a 1/4 of an inch
Correct, BC though does everything by 1/8 increments. Makes it easier to add at the end.
No, you’re the only one that doesn’t understand the logic behind recording all measurements in eighths.
I have a massive rack, multiple measuring tools, and a couple rolls of trophy tape... all sitting in the corner for like 2 years now un touched. Watched dozens of videos on how to score deer, and have still yet to figure out how to score that rack.
What more do you want to know about scoring deer? Lol.
I still say water displacement is the only true score.
Man I wanna have my scored so bad that I killed right here locally so I know I have a Boone and crocket buck like I think I do
Pics!!!!!
185 with a Gun 170 with a bow
No it’s 160 typical 185 non typical with a gun
What a great way to take the fun out of deer hunting.
I personally could careless about what my deer or your deer scores.
Why you here then??

I'd use a cloth/ fabric style tailors tape....just a tip
Cant use fabric tapes for official measurement's as the fabric has the ability to stretch giving you a false reading. Hence the reason for the steel tape.

Jeez
I bet your spread is 23 inches

Very informational thanks
I've never harvested a whitetail and measured it. I need more information now because this seems like someone made stuff up and ran with it.
The B&C measurement system is asinine. Don’t try and understand it just have an official measure the thing if you think it’s big enough.
I'm sure you know what your talking about but this video was very poorly filmed, for us who don't know how to do this, we need to see exactly where you put the tape measure.

4 year old at 123? That’s small for that age. 4 year olds on my farm in the the 150’s
It’s Virginia so mature bucks aren’t as big

Why don't people just use cm and mm ? Makes for a perfect measurement and clear for the records
Very cool 😎 video

I had that drop tine buck on my trail cam just never got up with it
Did you find him? Lol
Is a 150 whitetail buck good size? I hunt for meat not trophies but I still would like to know.
Jaden Yoder yeah 150 is a great buck. 120 is still a decent buck.
Jaden Yoder 150 inches is insane! My dad shot a 8pt buck that was actually pretty big. Just under 100 inches. I think he scored 97 3/8 iirc. (Scored at home, not official.
is 7&2/8" the same as 7&1/4"?
Yes
Hahahaha yup!
I was going to ask the same thing?
Yes, but you don't say it "1/4" when measuring deer.
that drives me nuts. he actually said "six and zero eighths".
Shaking hands with the left. What’s wrong with you dudes!? 😂
The taller guy , the host, doesn’t have a functional right hand. I remember being amazed when I first saw home doing all the outdoors stuff he does with only one hand
im an O-fishal derr scor
7 2/8ths or... 7 1/4
So with non typical, net and gross are the same,is that the same with mulies and wt?
My biggest buck was 186 inches typical
The scoring system is a joke
Jason Nester why
Jack B all the deductions and stuff. The antlers are only so many inches long. Two tines not being the exact same size down to the 1/8th of an inch so you subtract inches is kinda bs don’t you think?
It’s a way of judging a set of antlers, you would like the Safari International scoring system.
Jason nester never answered why. Why nester. Troll
In the beginning, you wrote down # of pts+ tip to tip. You dont add those #’s in too, do you?
No, the number of points,tip to tip spread and greatest spread are not added to the score. The inside spread is the only one that counts
Masking tape is way easier and more accurate
How would you score a 9 pointer with 3 score-able points on one side and 4 score-able points on the other? Would the length of the of the extra point on the one side be a deduction? Please let me know. Thanks
If that 4th point is over 1 inch: yes it is measured, recorded in column 1 or 2 and is also transferred to difference column
Austin... Yes it would be deducted
Why would you want to scare a deer? How do you scare deer?
Whoever decided to measure in eights should be put in prison for life this is not right. It sounds like the people who made this rule couldn’t add or subtract different denominator at all
Who shakes with their left hand??
The only score that matters is weight.
Good video. Very informative. There's a site - buck shot gear . net that has tool for this exact thing. Check it out.
I thought B&C was 170 to make book?
It is
170 typical
185 non typical
160*

my 11 year old son said "two eighth" …."four eighths" c'mon man.... quarter..... half ..who taught this guy how to read a ruler... lol
Cameron Langford they measure in eighths
@@xbeavz Correct. His son has a poor teacher there.
Literally states that B and C measures in 1/8th of an inch, still makes this comment. lmao
So if you have 5 tines on one side and 4 on the other you lose the inches the from the extra tine? why even measure it?
To get a gross score. After the takeaway is your net score.
I prefer the gross score. don't take points away.
Example of why nobody understands how to score antlers. Lol.
I found a dead head that scored an 85
2/8ths and 0/8ths? This is why we need the metric system!😁
It got patched
I don't believe in deductions if a deer grew it measure it it counts ! Think of it this way if your pecker is 8inched long when hard and it bends to the left and the left side measures 7 1/2 on the left because of the bend it effing 8 inches it ain't no 7 1/2
It's essentially math Tim. 9 and 2/8 lol?
He said 2/8
ummm, 4/8 is a half inch and 0/8 isnt a thing...
There is no 6/8th of an inch….
b&c min on whitetails is 170 not 160
CORRECT
He said 160 and then at the end he said it takes a 185... I’m confused 😂
Is it 185 for non typical?
Braden Kreft yes it’s 185 for non typical
I USE FIBERGLASS PIPE WRAP UNDER MY PAN.
