Tell me what you guys think...
I just thought of a new scoring method that wouldn't have everyone asking how wide a buck is... Instead of taking a measuring tape and going all over a deers head and coming up with a million different measurements only to disagree and have a professional scorer come to your house and discover that you are several inches off...
Why don't we just do a water displacement score. You can use any container filled to the rim large enough to dip your antlers in to the bases. On the huge bucks you would have to add up the displaced water of each antler after filling the container to get the measurement of each antler.
This way shed antlers could qualify and an official "BIGGEST DEER" either on the hoof and still roaming the hills or harvested could be compared to other deer. Wide bucks are still trophy's but I am just not buying that the pitch or angle that a deers antler protrudes form it's head should determine whether it is a trophy or not.
Hom many 2liter bucks do you think there are out there? Or maybe even 1 gallon bucks? An official world record would not be disputable....
