Puck Growth Continues

Well, I am continuing to grow my fabulous antlers. This is week 4 of my personal photo series. I must say, I think things are going very well indeed.

Last year my antlers scored approximately 191" on the Boone & Crockett scoring system. The B&C scoring system is a standardized way to compare antler growth from one buck to the next. Unlike some systems, B&C awards inches for the amount of spread between the main beams. (That's what I'm growing right now. All the tines will come off my main beam, or sometimes, other tines.) Last year my spread measurement was 18 1/2". B&C also includes measurements for main beam length, length of each tine and four circumference measurements around the main beam. They total that all up to give what is known as the gross B&C score.

Aren't you glad you asked? Basically, it's like a human reading their portfolio of stuff. I prefer my antlers. That way all the other deer know who's the boss without having to ask!

Like all of us here, I'm getting rid of that nasty old winter coat and soon my sleek summerwear will be in full force. Yeah, I'm getting a little hot!

So, while Sir John resides next door at La Quinta and thinks that title makes him special, I, resting comfortably in Shearton, know how cool I am. Until silly, baby, Falstaff has a B&C score to show me, and YOU, he really has nothing to say. I'm just letting those antlers do the talking.
