The nice thing about most 200 inch bucks is that you don’t have to worry about field judging them, and if you do, you better be up on your math skills.
That buck has a 3” and 5” point and doesn’t meet some of your “big buck” criteria because it only scores 169”! Only 169”, but the 40”+ of mass and frame make it a giant…even with a 3” and 5” point! Had it matched the other sides, it would have been well over the 180 mark…but according to some on here, not a “big buck” I have several bucks over 180 in this state, topped the 200” mark last season, and have never looked at “score” while sizing up a buck. Again for me, it’s all about mass! Find a buck with mass and you have found a “mature” buck…which is all my family looks for.

You got a 200" buck last season?No way!Pics or it didn't happen!(Disclaimer: I've seen the rack and even took some pics. It's a great buck.)
