I’ve measured a bunch of typical bucks, but this was my first try at a nontypical. I ended up getting some bad info from a friend in TX who thinks he’s a B&C scorer. I flagged down Alfalfa county game warden Ben Bickerstaff this morning, and he graciously offered to measure my buck for me. He actually educated me on the process which was great.I’ve measured and remeasured three time, and the smallest total I got is 192. I intend to get him “professionally” scored after the first of December, but until then, I’m calling him 192.
I was way off in my measurements of the nontypical points. Ben clarified that his score is still unofficial, but it’s dang sure more official than what I did.
The nontypical gross score is 182 6/8 with a net of 175 1/8.
My guesstimation from the game cam pictures had been 172-178” gross, so I wasn’t too far off after all.
