This will take you to the "official site" which has, not only whitetail scoring sheets, but every imaginable horned animal, all the way up to walruses! Unless you are an "official" scorer, we would encourage you to use these forms for personal use only so that customers are not misled, or disappointed, when they have an opportunity to be "officially" scored. Most deer will not score as highly as customers believe, and if you are able to, it is often better to let the "official" scorers be the ones to break it to them. A lesser score than they were expecting is only disappointing--it does not in any way diminish the trophy-status of their animal or of your work. This form allows you to make all the same measurements and calculations as the "official" form, without the pretense of being, in any way, an "official" document. This takes the pressure off you a little bit, but it is still a judgment call, as to whether it will be worth it to be the one who tells your customer that his deer is not as high-scoring as he believes. Again, it does not in any way diminish the quality of the animal, except in the hunter's eyes, but that is an important place. You may be better off to not claim any knowledge of scoring, except in a general manner, and to just be the one to point out that the deer brought in "is the biggest one I've had this season". This form takes awhile to load. Good luck! How-To-Measure Using B&C Methods This link will take you to a page that demonstrates and describes the method used by B&C Scorers to get the most accurate score. It is a neat resource to show your customer so that he can "score his own deer".
