Hurteau: Score Some Bucks, Win A Mathews Z7 Bow
By Dave Hurteau
The Z7 is Mathews’ brand new flagship model for 2010. The company touts it as their best-ever blend of speed and forgiveness, featuring an IBO speed of 332 fps, a 30-inch axle-to-axle length, a 7-inch brace height, and a retail price of $899.
And it can be yours. All you have to do is score some bucks.
We’ll keep it pretty straightforward: Each Friday, for one month, I’ll post a picture of a buck (or two). You guess the gross B&C score(s)--to the inch--and keep track of your guesses. On the last Friday, I’ll ask you for your grand total. Whoever is closest wins the bow. If there’s a tie, we will have a buck-off. I will post a photo of some insanely gnarly rack, for which no two people could possibly offer identical guesses, and the finalists will have at it until we have a winner.
In the meantime, you are welcome to post your best guesses for each buck. Or you can have more fun by keeping your best guesses to yourself and sabotaging your friends with purposely misleading information. For example, the big 8 above was taken with a Mathews Reezen by Hunter’s Specialties Pro Staffer, video and TV personality, and Arkansas backgammon champion Phillip Vanderpool, who after 15 days of tough luck in Iowa and Illinois—I mean the kind of brutal, brutal hunting most of you could not endure—arrowed this Kansas stud on November 21st. At 6-foot, 5-inches tall and pushing 250, Vanderpool can make any big buck look small. So don’t forget to factor that in.
Okay, have at it.

Wow...$899 for a bow? That's the buy one, get one free price, hopefully.
135 1/2 .
146 6/8
164 7/8
153 4/8
140, tough angle
No thanks- I wouldn't trade my bow for a Mathews, that and I'm not into scoring horns, it just turns hunting into something it never was. A mockery!
128 5/8
I'm agreeing with steve, it's a very tough angle. But looking at it, I'd say around 130...
134 5/8.
Only my opinion. I may be right or wrong. But I think you can have fun scoring horns, and still know what hunting is really about.
140 1/8
155"
Vanderpool, by the way, is actually about 5-foot, 4-inches tall and 142 pounds soaking wet--not to mention a very nice guy for playing along.
if theis is the first of the competition...135"
133 5/8
126
133-7/8
158. If this guy is that big, this buck is pretty damn big. How much did he weigh? We should have a weight contest sometime, too.
I am goin with 120
I'll send three new turkey calls to the first person to accurately guess Vanderpool's height and weight.
(Hint: In case you didn't catch it, the figures I've given so far have been "misleading information.")
5'10" 170?
Scoring horns from a photo is an art and will ultimately help you field judge deer. I know many do not hunt for horns but many of us do...to each his own.
161 5/8
i say he is 5 foot 7 inches tall
Im going to go for 132 - 3/8 for the deer and 6'2" 215 for Mr. Vanderpool
After a little research I'm gonna make another guess of 5'9" 165 lbs (phillip not the deer)
with the kicker on the right rack 155 3/4"
156 1/4... I would love to have a new bow. I currently shoot a Matthews Q-2 that I bought in 2000! it still amazes me 10 years later how great a bow it is. I have heard that they have since gone way too comercial and offer an overpriced and not so worthy product, so much so that Davis Sports in Sloatsburg NY wont even sell their products...I cant make that call yet...until I get the FREE one!!!!
141 3/8 inches
143 pts
Last week I got my new Z-7 eat your heart out guys. IMHO This is the best bow ever. Would be nice to have 2 of them so here goes. Phil is 5'10" 190 lb. The buck scores 128 inches gross.

Hey big toe! Guess who this is (not too many folks know your real name, huh?) from up North! First, glad to see u read these comments-thanks for settin Walt
Smith straight! Some people can have FUN scoring antlers and still know what hunting is all about! gee whiz, lighten up Walt! Not worreid about the free bow but just for fun,here goes: my guess on Phillips nice 8 pointer... how about 131 gross?!? boy, tough angle, your turkey! Also, I want to say I like your writing style and choice of subject matter, but I sure miss Scott Bestul on this blog! Any others out there miss him? I know he still posts now and then, but maybe you guys can split the blog 50/50? Then us whitetail junkies can get the best of BOTH worlds! Pass that on to the upper brass for me, k?

146 7/8
im with ck rich only 141 2/8 instead of 3/8 and on the hunter im goin with 5' 9" 205 lbs
Mr. Vanderpool and Tom Cruise would see eye-to-eye on a great many topics--a fact that has nothing at all to do with scientology.
150 1/8
5'7" and 182 for Mr. Vanderpool
157" / 5'11" 212lbs.
with daves last hint im goin with 5'7" and 175 lbs
that doesnt change my buck score though and for the most part thats not a bad angle there just some of the antler circumference that you cant see and for the most part 98% of bucks antlers are close in size to their matching antler.
haha that may not even be the right deer with the right hunter... its prbly cut and pasted so that the distortion is greater and even harder to judge the actually size of the deer... but hey good luck to everyone this is going to be interesting to see how far off our scores are at the end...lol
looks like 126 to me
Bingo! You got it, WhitetailHunter706.
Mr. Vanderpool is 5'7," 175, as you say.
Congrats. I will get you your turkey calls posthaste.

I'm guessing these guys don't shoot anything under 150 inches my guess is 155 3/8. pictures are decieving sometimes.Vanderpool could indeed be that big.
146
Gross Score: 131 2/8
I'm guessin 136 inches on the buck! Tough angle in the photo to get a spread. I'll guess 5'10" and 220 on the hunter! Just got a new bow but will pass the mattews to my son or use it as a back-up.
134 1/4
158 1/8
My estimate is 147". He's a buck all of us bowhunters could all be proud of!
Just so you all know, Vanderpool's height and weight has already been correctly guessed (5'7", 175). That said, if you want to keep guessing, who am I to stop you? Make sure to check the site tomorrow for Round 2, in which I'll post the next buck in the series.
Vanderpool is 5, 11 and 185 lb. buck is 148

nice animal! I'd say around 157 1/4
161 1/8. all the way!!!
132
129-5/8" gross and about 4" of deductions for a net score.
Ok, go ahead and laugh. I don't know the measuring requirements, to score antlers. I,m new at this and you think that living in Texas I would know.And after admitting this, someone in Texas is bound to throw my cowboy hat out of the truck window for sure now!! Now admitting my honesty where can one find the formula to calculate antler scoring measurement techniques. I got buddies that guess or extend there deer trophy scores. But I do know it has to do with each antlers length, a spread and points. Typical and non-typical. So whats the real correct formula and how? Whitetail or Muledeer
159 1/8
123 Decieving but not quite P&Y. Sorry.
Awesome animal. My score is 167 3/8.
I would love to have a new bow. I would say the buck would score 142

Well regardless who win the bow that is really one nice deer. I would love to even see a deer loke that in my scope. Well, my guess will be 165-3/8. Thanks for the oppertunity.
I will guess 163-5/8
138&3/8's gross and 133&2/8's net.IMO One dandy 8 point for sure, but it takes a stud with super mass and longer g-1's to reach the 140's. Great buck though and congrats to him.

Also, I want to say I like your writing style and choice of subject matter, but I sure miss Scott Bestul on this blog! Any others out there miss him? I know he still posts now and then, but maybe you guys can split the blog 50/50? Then us whitetail junkies can get the best of BOTH worlds! Pass that on to the upper brass for me, k?

Mr. Vanderpool and Tom Cruise would see eye-to-eye on a great many topics--a fact that has nothing at all to do with scientology.
150 1/8
5'7" and 182 for Mr. Vanderpool
157" / 5'11" 212lbs.
that doesnt change my buck score though and for the most part thats not a bad angle there just some of the antler circumference that you cant see and for the most part 98% of bucks antlers are close in size to their matching antler.
haha that may not even be the right deer with the right hunter... its prbly cut and pasted so that the distortion is greater and even harder to judge the actually size of the deer... but hey good luck to everyone this is going to be interesting to see how far off our scores are at the end...lol
looks like 126 to me

Gross Score: 131 2/8
I'm guessin 136 inches on the buck! Tough angle in the photo to get a spread. I'll guess 5'10" and 220 on the hunter! Just got a new bow but will pass the mattews to my son or use it as a back-up.
134 1/4
158 1/8
My estimate is 147". He's a buck all of us bowhunters could all be proud of!
Just so you all know, Vanderpool's height and weight has already been correctly guessed (5'7", 175). That said, if you want to keep guessing, who am I to stop you? Make sure to check the site tomorrow for Round 2, in which I'll post the next buck in the series.

Well regardless who win the bow that is really one nice deer. I would love to even see a deer loke that in my scope. Well, my guess will be 165-3/8. Thanks for the oppertunity.
I will guess 163-5/8
138&3/8's gross and 133&2/8's net.IMO One dandy 8 point for sure, but it takes a stud with super mass and longer g-1's to reach the 140's. Great buck though and congrats to him.
