AZ G&F Ram Scoring

[Sneaker]

What is everyone's experience with the accuracy of the department's scoring? Up in Region 3 its kind of a local joke since they have had alot of turnover in recent years and are always lower than registered B&C scorers get. I know every office and scorer has to be different. Someone said if you had a score sheet done and signed by someone certified that they have accepted that before, anyone seen that?

Why is what the azgfd scores it so important to you?

It gets recorded and published which does matter to people who are looking for publicly available information.

My experience is that it is highly dependent on their mood. Bring in a smiling happy kid, score gets bumped up a little bit. Be late and bring a stinky decomposing head, expect them to round down.

Trying to get a feel of which rams may have been taken in a unit that I have an inventory of most of the mature rams. But that has proven difficult with shaky scores, among other reason:)

My buddy said his ram was taped and scored in under a minute. Came out 3” smaller than what he was scored by a guy who’s killed over 40 sheep.

3"???  So less than a 5% difference?  Sheep guys are weird.

I can’t imagine they’re off that much. The aging sure, but the score?

People that are upset about this probably have a ram teetering on the 160s I would bet. Nobody wants to log a 50s.

Now you got me confused. You can tell it’s a ram from your inventory, by reading the score of one killed? Not a picture, the score? That’s incredible.

Not saying it really matters just saying the G & F guys are off

How do you know Azgfd scored it wrong to begin with? 
 

brother, you have to start this thread over again.

If you're lucky enough to draw a tag, just enjoy your ramburgers.

When I had my ram measured it was the 3rd ever measurement the lady did. I didnt care what she wrote down to be honest. I haven't had it measured since.

I’m more worried about how they age sheep than score them. My friend’s ram from like 6-8 years ago. G&F aged him at 5, then in the hunt reports listed him at 4
