Announcing The Winner of the Buck-Scoring Contest!
by Dave Hurteau
One perceptive— and perhaps a little lucky— reader will soon hear the rumble of a delivery truck, carrying his spanking new Bowtech Invasion CPX compound bow. Is it you? Well let’s see now...
The actual gross B&C scores of the four bucks shown are as follows:
Buck #1, taken by Paul Ranft, measures 171 4/8.
Buck #2, taken by Jayson Nunn, goes 155 1/8. (I know, I guessed too low, too. The downward angle makes this tall and tight rack look smaller than it actually is—but we verified the score twice. Also, Nunn, I’m told, is a big boy, whose presence in a photo makes any buck’s rack look smaller. I’m seriously impressed at how many of you put him in the high 140s to mid 150s.)
Buck #3, taken by James Guseman, scores 154 5/8.
And Buck #4, taken by Darrell Bozarth, grosses 176 3/8
The total gross B&C score for all four is therefore 657 5/8, which means we have a winner, and it is hunter182, who guessed 658 2/8, a mere 5/8 off. Congratulations, hunter! Looks like you will have to sight in a new bow mid-season. Poor guy.
I’ll be contacting you soon.

Third place is tough to swallow when I was only off by 2 7/8 (sheer and complete luck), but congrats to hunter182!!
I was the closest I've ever been as well...off by 3 2/8. Congrats as well hunter182
I did really well on the first and last buck I was off by roughly 10 on the middle two. Oh well, it was fun and awesome being my first time around. Hope to see more of these!
man my i was close on all of them. i think my gauge of mass on them was off thanks for posting the individual scores really helps. congrats hunter182
was off by a it more than i wanted.. (30) i didnt think the first buck was as big as it scored
wow I was waaaaaaaaaay low,,,congrats to to hunter 182 !
Wow, I am shocked haha. Congrats to the winner!!! Next is blacktail, right?
found it! off by 1 2/8 on one dang so close. congrats to the winners, off hunting fore co-op.
Great contest and a humbling learning experience. I wrote down my first impressions and then seriously reviewed and scored the racks at a later time. But being close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and s-l-o-w dancing. Congrats to hunter182!
Nice job hunter182. Congrats on the new bow.
Congratulations hunter182! Good Guess!

Off by 4 7/8" have any pens with field & stream printed on them? I'll take one of those for getting close enough!
It wasn't all luck but thank you and special thanks to everyone at field and stream

Congrats to you! Glad I finally found this post... I kept wondering when the winner was going to be announced.
