Bird Dog Mafia Clay checking in with a brute from Virginia!

Clay was hunting with his buddies at the club when the buck and a doe came through way ahead of the hounds. Clay made a move, got in front of them and made the shot when it counted. Tale of the tape:

25” main beams
19.5” inside spread
Main frame ten with one 3” kicker
Tines to 9.25”
38” of mass

Total Buckmasters score of 168 1/8”

Congats Clay on another mega Buck!

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.
