[QUOTE="Big Jake Duke, post: 1313299, member: 29978"] A rack like that won't score as high as a narrow tall forked rack. This buck dwarfs a 189 5x5 I took last year, but probably doesn't "score" better. I only put a tape across his width. My personal belief- before I ever saw this animal- is that our current system of measurement over values bucks built like white tails, and under values qualities of the bucks that make a western hunter drool. I use the 100 yard alfalfa field test. You have 1 bullet and two bucks are side by side 100 yards away- which one do you want? That is the better buck. And that brings into it the animal. I have seen a 23" Muley score 195 and probably weigh the same, and he looked like he had a beehive hairdo. On the same trip a hunter took a 190 30" 4-4 that weighed over 350lbs. Which was the better buck? BC scoring doesn't tell the whole story of the animal. Maybe mass deplacement (water tank) would be best for mulies. Plus a width height measurement. Thanks [/QUOTE]
