🚨 The Donald Overstreet Buck 🚨

It was awesome to sit down with Donald and his daughter to hear the story of this giant 11 point that he brought down off the mountain.

My good friend Jeff Phillips at Star City Whitetails had made contact with Doanld’s son Jason on having this deer scored. Jason reached out and we set a date! It’s that easy folks!

Donald was hunting with his muzzleloader in late December of 1978. He had been hunting this ridge and bumping a deer, so he decided to slip down one side a bit to maybe catch a glimpse of what he had been spooking. Not long after he settled in this brute came by and the rest is history!!

Donald also shared he shot another buck just as big and had trouble finding it. Another man found the deer but he was unable to obtain the rack. We sure would love to see that one too!

Tale of the tape:

27” beams
6” brows
Three tines over 12”, one 13”+!!
23 3/8” wide inside
36” of mass
No irregular points

Total Buckmasters score of 198 1/8”‼️

Donald is still out there enjoying his passion. One thing I love about scoring deer is meeting great people like this family, hearing the stories, and seeing giant bucks on my table. Thanks again for bringing him out!

🚨 GIANT VELVET DROPS IN VA 🚨

Chase done did it again! Not only has this young man dropped a double drop tine giant in Virginia, he now has the STATE RECORD OVERALL VELVET FOR VIRGINIA!!

Chase and his buddy were chasing this giant in a couple small parcels they had permission to hunt. A quick evening hunt turned into an unforgettable experience when this beast dropped down in the creek bottom with him.

Tale of the tape:

26”+ main beams
Tines to 13”
37” of mass
16” wide inside
27” of junk

Total Buckmaster score of 186”‼️

This young man was a blessing to meet with, hear his story, and score his buck. It was great meeting you Chase and I know you make your parents proud.

Read up! Let’s go!

The Buckmaster’s Scoring System was built to better reflect the actual measurements of a whitetail rack — without forcing it into a mold it doesn’t fit 🦌

Here are 7 key ways our system stands apart:

1️⃣ No Deductions for Asymmetry or Irregular Growth
We believe every inch of antler matters. Unlike other systems, we don’t deduct for unmatched typical points or natural irregularities.
A 9-point rack isn’t downgraded to an 8 just because it doesn’t have a perfect match on both sides.

2️⃣ Four Clear Classifications for All Racks
Antlers are scored based on their structure: Perfect, Regular, Semi-Irregular, or Irregular.
These categories reflect reality — not a forced ideal — and are determined by simple math, not guesswork.

3️⃣ Minimum Scores Based on Weapon Type
We tailor our standards to the method of harvest:
• Fi****ms or Found (Pickups): 155”
• Bows (All Types): 120”
• Shed Antlers: 75” (measured as a single antler)

4️⃣ Weapon-Specific Categories
Every hunting method is respected. We have individual categories for:
✔️ Rifles
✔️ Shotguns
✔️ Pistols
✔️ Muzzleloaders
✔️ Compound Bows
✔️ Recurves
✔️ Longbows
✔️ Crossbows
✔️ Pickups (found racks)
✔️ Shed Antlers
Each is scored fairly and separately.

5️⃣ No Drying Time Required
Your buck doesn’t need to sit and lose inches. We score antlers as they are — fresh or dry.
No 60-day wait. No shrinkage penalties.

6️⃣ We Accept Velvet Antlers
Got a buck in velvet? We’ll score it — even if preserved with artificial velvet (as long as there’s photo evidence it was taken in full velvet).

7️⃣ High-Fence Bucks Can Be Entered
Entries are allowed from properties over 500+ contiguous acres, provided the deer is free-ranging within that space and meets all ethical, legal, and fair chase guidelines.
These bucks are not ranked against wild, free-range deer — but they are recognized.

👉 Bottom line: We score antlers the way nature grew them. Whether it’s velvet, non-typical, or harvested with a bow — every buck deserves to be judged on what it is, not what it should’ve been.

Giant buck!

Robbie and Nick brought some great bucks by yesterday for scoring. Was nice to hear the stories and meet these young men. We put the tape to them and the dead head from public land made the cut for entry into Buckmasters. The dead head was found out of state but the other three harvest are from Virginia.

The big typical score sheet:

25” & 23” beams
Tines to 12 3/8”
Almost 35” of mass
15 3/8” inside spread

For a total score of 172 4/8”!

The big main frame 8 point with kickers taken by Nick missed the book by 2 3/8”. A very impressive animal that I know multiple hunters were chasing.

Congrats again fellas and thanks for coming by to get these scored.
