Here's a good example of a 170 class buck, he Grossed 173 and netted 169 7/8 he was scored officially at the Puyallup Sportsmans Show in 04. A late archery buck from the Okanogan area, he may not be an Eastmans class buck but a trophy of a lifetime for me, well hopefully not of a lifetime...

Very good topic bone, and great advice and discussion from everyone. I'm still learning the ropes on field judging animals and it seems I'm usually a good 15 or more inches higher then what others think. I don't really have the experience to differentiate between 150 and 170 I just know there big.

If you want one that scores over 150 it takes homework, if you want one that is 160+ it takes time in the woods after you have done your homework and if you want one that scores 170+ it takes all of the above plus a lot of luck.
I average over 40 days a year in the woods hunting just deer and well over 100 scouting in Washingtons best whitetail and mule deer country and I can count on one hand how many bucks a year I see that score over 170.
Sometimes I can go 3 or 4 years and still count them on the same hand.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

great thread. Glad you brought it up. For me, until I draw a god tag, anything with a nice rack is meat in the freezer and I haven't managed to feel bad about that yet. Anything bigger than the others I have killed is a "trophy". Still, it's nice to run the numbers as a benchmark.
FYI, if I talk about a deer I saw on the hoof, it's always a gross score. I can't do the damn deductions in my head. Should have payed better attention in math class...
