If you're saying that buck is under 174 I think someone scored it wrong, or the picture is very deceiving.
i think the pic is very deceiving. He is really long arming it so I'd say 171 gross and mid 160's net. :twocents:

Very nice buck, congrats :tup:

171 5/8 and 169.  I usually get within an inch or so when compare to an official score but it would be nice to be off.  I did long arm one but as i mentioned, I made sure to include a normal pic too.  I know one thing for sure...I shed a tear that day :'(

You had me. Great buck. Congrats.

Great buck, that is a believable score without being able to put a tape on it.  When they get above 160 and into the 170 range it is easy to be off as much as 10", if you guess each tine length off by 1/2" or 3/4"(easy to do with a photo) you are immediately off by 6" and the mass on that one was tough to tell from the photo.

Anyways, bottom line, great buck and definitely one to be very proud of.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

 :yeah:  My thoughts exactly.  I don't have an internet formula for adding up scores in a photograph, but my "glance estimate" (the same as I would do in the field) would have told me that's a 175"-ish deer (gross score-nets are for fish).  I was surprised to see it score lower than that.  Either way, that's a great buck.  I'd be making a trip to the taxidermist if it was my deer... :tup:
