Official Coues Score Practice Thread

Recommended Posts

We are all bored. Post a couple pics of your deer, then post the score UNDERNEATH the pics not above them.  

Let's start with a small guy. Taken next to a monster can for a size reference since skulls are so tough. Monster can is 6 1/8" tall

so for you archery guys,  this is basically what your looking for to make pope and young. This guy just misses it at 67 7/8" after deductions.  Gross score is 71 3/4"

Interesting note, skull sizes vary wildly by age of animal. I was surprised by the size of the last one I posted which even though he basically is 70" his skull was much smaller then the mature buck I killed last january. I only mention this because we often use the deers ears as a point of reference.  

Next measure is the only deadhead I've ever found.. here he is next to the first 2. Any guesses while I measure?

Ok here's one after the kill,  note the 1st pic is decieving, it makes his left side look bigger then he actually is.  Wife knows how to take a good pic!

I guessed 56” on the first. The your 2nd post I guessed 72” so I’m only half wrong!

He got to ride in an Audi, pretty fancy.

I'm glad you didnt get shot walking into the wrong person's backyard to pick him up for me.
