Not every hunter has the inclination to hunt only big antlers. And most of us are in locations where seeing 10 B&C scoring buck in a season is only a dream. This hunter may not have the time or money to take on such a venture as only shooting buck that will score. It typically takes a trip to Texas or the Mid west to see such an opportunity and life and life’s priorities just don’t allow for such luxuries.

That doesn’t mean we can’t compete, either with ourselves or others in our prowess as a hunter. We all hear about primitive archery and traditional archery, but the definitions are far and wide. Hunting with a self bow doesn’t necessarily mean primitive hunting. This is meant to be a scoring process for your hunting, not the size of the antlers taken.

Obviously older animals become smarter and are harder to hunt, but the score should be a relationship to the area as well as just the size of the antlers. 

Your welcome to play and post your results on http://primitivearcher.com/, https://www.tradgang.com/, facebook, instagram, or whatever medium you frequent or just keep track for your own enjoyment and see how your hunting prowess improves over the years to come.

 

 

Hunters Galoot points

Add points for all rows. If the row is not true, add a zero. For instance if you built the self bow you would get 2 points for it being a self bow and 2 points for building it yourself for a total of 4 points. If your hunting with a rifle you add zero, for a pistol you add 0.5
Everyone going hunting starts with 10 points
