Title: Purple or yellow hearts for Valentine's......
Post by: JLH on February 10, 2019, 10:28:47 PM
Winner of the game gets to choose either a yellowheart or a purpleheart striker made by me!

Valentine's is a day for love....and my first love is bowhunting!!!....both whitetails and turkeys are bow only for me, just dont have any interest in shooting stuff with a gun....but that's me...and I agree, most turkeys deserve to be shot with a gun...they just dont play fair!

So for the game.....

Guess the NET score of my first Pope and Young deer.
(I did have it officially scored and entered)

I'm assuming most understand how a deer is scored..

The person that gets the closest to the nearest 1/8" wins....game ends at noon Feb 14th (unless someone gets the exact # before that)

170" is the minimum to make Boone and Crockett....this one does not make it.

Thanks for the opportunity but I have a question.  I considered this deer to have a broken main beam and was originally a 9pt main frame.  Is this how he was scored?
Title: Re: Purple or yellow hearts for Valentine's......
Post by: JLH on February 14, 2019, 11:55:57 AM
The beam is actually not broken....that hole is from (what I was told) fly's laying eggs in the soft tissue when the antler was growing...and the antler grew around it.

There is a broken point on the rt....but that was determined to be an abnormal point because it didnt grow from the top of the beam....it was between g2 and g3.

It was officially scored and entered.....It was my first really big deer..and the first that I had history with, figured him out and finished the job....some 25 years ago!

Thanks!
