The Huntavore Scoring System

Nick and Dustin chat about the changes or non-changes to their archery setups. At the time of this recording, there was 30 days, but realistically it's right around the corner. Nick put together a formula to use when trying to figure out how much usable weight to expect off your deer. Plus the guys roll out the Otto/Isenhoff (Huntavore) Scoring System. Show Notes: Nick and Dustin try to answer the age old question of what am I going to get back from my deer. With emotions running high you tell your processor you want steaks and sausage, only to return with a tiny box that is “your deer”. The guys have created a formula to help you set expectations for yourself when picking up your “tiny” box or when you are processing your own. Break Down of Useable Meat off a Deer Figured Based on Field Dressed Animal Hide and hooves on All innards and entrails removed FD x 1.26 = approx. live weight FD / 1.331= hanging carcass HC x .67 = ideal usable meat IUM x .7 = realistic usable meat Example: PLW’s Buck Known: 110 is field dressed 110 x 1.26=138.6 Live wt. 110 / 1.331=82 carcass wt. 82 x .67= 55 ideal 55 x .7= 38.5 realistic Range would be between 55 and 38 lbs Boone and Crockett, Pope and Young, scoring systems that help measure the side of the animal taken. However, there is a lot of the story lost in a score. It's not all about the inches. So we have rolled out a NEW scoring system called Otto and Isenoff. It is more of a whole hunt score, than just about the antlers. So go ahead, and run your next deer through the OI or Huntavore Score. Otto-Isenoff (Huntavore) Score: Recovered Deer: 50 pts (15pt bonus if on public land) 10pt for bringing kids/non-hunting friends on the recovery (max 10pts) 1pt for every .25 mile unassisted drag/carry (sleds and additional pullers allowed) Antler Points: 1 pt for every “point” that can hold a ring 5 pts bonus for each sticker (point off of a point) or split brow tine 5th Quarter: 5 pts for each organ recovered and kept (pairs are considered 1 organ) Hanging Carcass: 1 pt for every pound above 100lbs at Field dressed 2 pt for every pound above “realistic” side of usable meat scale Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
