BASICS FOR SCORING WHITE-TAILED DEER ANTLERS
➨Determine the points that qualify for measuring 1. Number of typical points 2. Number of non-typical points Definition of a POINT - a projection at least one (1)
inch long and longer than wide at some location at least one inch from the tip of the projection.
➨Inside Spread
➨Main Beam Length
➨Length of Points
➨FOUR ( 4 ) Beam Circumferences on each antler NO more/No less

Typical vs. Non-typical Points
Typical points arise ONLY from the top of the main beam.
Non-typical points can originate from other points, the sides and bottom of the beams, the burrs, and can be unmatched, typical points that are between typical points, but not a point as shown ( G4 ).

Non-typical points

Inside spread
Inside spread is taken at the widest location between main beams perpendicular to the center line of the forehead – NOT between points
![Page 6: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Each main beam length is taken along outside curve of beam starting at antler burr above the eye to the tip of beam.
Main beam length

Point lengths are taken on the outside curve of each point where the midline of the point intersects the top of the beam or another point.
![Page 9: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Beam circumferences must be taken at the smallest location between points except the 4th measurement may fall midway between last point and end of main beam when G4 is missing.

Scoring on the HoofWhat will an 8 pointer score ?
![Page 13: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Knowing the average of several physical measurements for 3 year old bucks for a region/population will help in estimating scores “ON the HOOF”. Learn the ear length, head length, eye-eye width, etc. of the deer you are hunting.
![Page 14: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Outside eye - eye 5 1/2 in.

Length of ear 5 - 5 1/2 in.Diameter of eye
1 in.

Width between burrs 2 - 2 1/2 in.
Width of black nose pad 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 in.

HEAD LENGTH 12 IN.
Eye to nose 6 1/2 - 7 in.

These 2 views offer the best opportunity for estimating antler score
Slight quarter is better than side view
![Page 19: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Judging antlers on a buck walking away or quartering away will usually result in
“ground shrinkage”
Side views often give an under estimation of antler size

The Tape Doesn’t LieThe following are examples of antlers that have been scored representing several gross B&C score-classes for typical 8 pointers
Notice how antler shape and point length effect score

SUMMARY◆ The most common number of points is 8 for
bucks 3 years old and older.
◆ Score antlers as 8 pointer even when more points exist - if time allows additional point lengths can be added to the 8 point score.
◆ 8 point antlers that score 130 will look BIG.◆ Know what the average is for several physical
measurements such as ear length from head, head length, eye - nose, eye - eye, and diameter of eye. ( the rule of 5 - 5 1/2 for forehead width across eyes and ear length from head applies to most bucks)
![Page 60: Boone and Crockett Scoring On the Hoof](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052910/559a92d91a28abf46e8b456c/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Summary◆ Using the width across forehead from eye to eye
can be useful for estimating spread and point length because this measurement remains
constant as a buck is looking at you.
◆ If the ear length from side of head is 5 1/2, the distance of ear tip will be 4 1/2. Example: ear tip - ear tip will be 4 1/2 + 5 + 4 1/2 = 14 in.
◆ Points as long as eye-nose will be 6 - 7 in. and points as long as the head will be at least 11 in.
◆ Bases that appear as big as the eye will be 4 in. and those that appear as big as the nose will be 5 in. or more.
