And nets are for fish. We'll see what happens.
God, you tape just once and you've always been a taper.

It calibrates your eyecrometer and it's fun I guess that's the deal. What am I really looking at? I see pictures of bucks guys swear tape out at 180" and I think to myself, there's just no way! My buck is that big and I don't think it's 180". Not even close. Pictures are a terrible way to judge size though, so there's that.

I'd say better than 90% of people throwing scores around don't actually understand or know the scoring system. Heck I have seen guys on here who would be considered top end mule deer/elk guys who miscore. Measuring from the wrong spot, using outside spread instead of inside of main beams, extra measurements, etc. If you ever roll through the general vicinity of Yakima/kittitas county I would love to get my hands on that big boy and score him for you.
