My 2010 Double main beam buck with a bow

Nice buck! Welcome to the fire.

Thanks ... I have been visiting the Fire for a while now .. just figured I should contribute to it also.

Helluva deer. Congratulations.

Hell of a way to hit the ground running.

Nice buck man!!!

Very nice deer. Congratulations.

Awesome trophy! I think that is a buck of a lifetime!

Very cool!

How do they score such a critter.

Cool buck! Congrats!

Great first post. Welcome.

Thanks for all the compliments.

I'm not sure how to score him either, any one with knowledge on scoring a double main beam buck please comment.

Here are a couple more pics of him.

Welcome to the Fire and congrats on a spectacular buck!

Congrats!

That's the way to make an entrance! Wowza!

WOW! He's awesome!

Nice work!

Wow..very nice deer. Congrats

You score 'em like anything else, tine length and girth but only one inside spread (widest).

How many main beam lengths ??? 3 ?

Welcome to the fire. Great buck!!

It is great that you got a picture of him on the trail camera. I assume you are going to get it mounted. I would take one of the trail cam pics, frame it, and hang it under the mount.

Thanks .. yep he is going on the wall. He came off our private land, with no fences so that along with the trail cam pics makes him special to me.

Very nice buck, congrats

I would think that one is gonna get mounted!

Nice buck.

Awesome Buck!
What state?

He is an Illinois Buck

If that is truly a three antlered buck it's not eligible for entry in the B&C record book.

A three antlered buck has a point that rises separately from the other antlers usually having its own pedicel.

I've measured deer that apparently had a third antler, but the "third beam" actually branched from the main beam or shared the pedicel if the normal beam. If the "beam" would shed separately from the typical beam, its a third antler and the rack is ineligible.

I can't tell from these pictures what the situation is with your deer, but I hope this helps.

Rick Teal, Thanks for the information. I think the two antlers would be connected, I have attached a better picture showing this.

If we said they grew from the same base, would the proper way score him be just like a typical deer then add in the additional main beam length, point lengths and circumference measurements to get his gross score ?

Thanks again and I appreciate any more help you can give.

That's awesome ! I agree with "Muffy" about the trail cam pictures. You have him in velvet, after he shed his velvet and now you are holding him by his rack. Such a great conversation piece. That's a buck too be proud of. Congrats !

Man, I really like the double beams. Sweet!
