On his inside spread. So you know depending on how your deer antlers are shaped this one's a pretty symmetrical. Pretty standard eight pointer.

In this case it is 17 inches. So once you have finalized and record all your measurements. And now total up your measurements. To come up with a final score for this book.

To get the gross score, add the inside spread, beam lengths, all the G-point lengths, and all H-circumference measurements. Finally, subtract the total deduction number from the gross score to get the final, or net, score. The most common errors in score calculation are addition and subtraction errors.

Horn length is measured from the base along the front curve to the horn tip (A–B) without pressing the measuring tape down into the grooves (Figure 1). The circumference measurement is taken at the base of the horn as close to the head as possible (F).

Horns usually have a curved or spiral shape, often with ridges or fluting. In many species, only males have horns. Horns start to grow soon after birth and continue to grow throughout the life of the animal (except in pronghorns, which shed the outer layer annually, but retain the bony core).

4 mass measurements For whitetail deer, you get 4 mass measurements starting from the base of the antler. Every tine that is longer than one inch is considered a point. You measure the total length of the main beam, followed by every scorable point, and then the 4 mass measurements.

Gross score is a buck's score before deductions. This score is what most hunters use. Net score is a buck's score after deductions. This net score is normally taken by a certified scorer. You cannot get an official score until the rack is finished drying.

Until I get right down to the tip. I pinch it off mark it with my clip. So I can measure that just simply lay it out. And measure it with a tape measure. And it looks like we've got a beam length.

We're gonna take our tape measure. We're gonna put it inside. The main beans just like this find our greatest spread or if this bug is not little wide. So right at 18 inches inside.

You'll often hear white-tailed bucks and bull elk described by their number of points. Points are tines branching off the main beam of the antler that measure at least 1 inch.

Antlers are found on all members of the deer family (Cervidae) in North America including deer, elk, caribou, and moose. Caribou are the only species in which antlers are typically found on females in addition to males. Antlers are often called “horns” by deer hunters, but they are not.

The F horn has an effective length of 360 cm when none of the levers are depressed, while the B♭horn is 270 cm, and the high-F, 180 cm. The longest horn is the F horn, and it has the lowest tonal range. A double horn is an instrument with two tubes of different pitches.

With a range that spans four octaves, the French horn can produce such a wide variety of tones and colours that it can be played in many musical genres. Through the use of different fingerings, techniques and mutes, skilled horn players are able to push the limits of the instrument's range.

Animals use their horns to defend against predators. If an animal's horn is broken or damaged, it will remain that way forever. It does not grow back. Horns are permanent; they are not shed, but grow with the animal throughout its lifespan.

Where antlers grow out of a bony stub, horns have a full core of bone. Instead of skin, horns are covered in a tough coating of keratin, the same substance that makes up human fingernails. Horns are also more likely to be a unisex accessory, with males and females of a species both sporting the appendages.
