Measuring pigs tusks

Hey bill I caught a couple of good boars over the weekend and just wondering what the Douglas score for them would be? I tried it myself but not sure if I’ve measured correctly.

Length in mm
tusks tip to tip = 162mm
Length of shortest tusk = 82mm
Length of shortest grind = 70mm
Circumference of the base = 62mm

I added them all up which = 752mm then converted to eights of an inch which came back as 29 5/8

Is that correct?

Hi Luke
Nice jaw, it measured 21 4/8
A couple of points you could change, when measuring add each measurement up as you go. Converted, tip to tip 6 2/8 length 3 1/8
grind 2 5/8
Base 2 3/8
Now don’t add-double the tip to tip as that is only one measurement.
This is the new Zealand deer stalkers measuring system, the Douglas score is only two measurements.
Happy hunting Bill Westwood
