Awesome buck no matter the score, I can't think of a better person than Brad to have it hanging on the wall.  I was off by 4/8ths of an inch when I scored it.   :IBCOOL: 
I've hunted almost everyday of my life, the rest have been wasted.

Thanks guys, it was a total blast! 

I almost sold my wife's car to buy this year's Governor's Tag so we could do it again.  I don't know why she got all pissed off when I mentioned it.  I thought she enjoyed me leaving the house every weekend from Sept-Dec.

Awesome buck...score doesn't matter. Truly impressive buck in person.
Congrats Brad!

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Thanks for the scoring update.  186 5/8" is the only score I acknowledge.  Like others have said, score doesn't matter.  Pretty hard to beat the looks of that buck on the wall for this state. :)

Thanks for the update.  Great buck.  And i do think people care about the score, especially when it is the first thing out of peoples mouth.  And especially certain people's use to gain $$$ or status, by the use of articles and videos.  So this is a perfect example of make sure its right and how diff score can be if you dont know what your doing.   I think more importantly for all deer hunters it shows what it takes to get a 180, 190, 200 inch buck.  Thanks again Rafflemule and Stickslinger for sharing the hunt and sharing all this scoring stuff with us.  You didnt have to do that and i know we all appreciate it.  And hey its only 5 months away and the journey starts again!!!!!

Well said! 
I think its also a note to those hunters that a 170 buck is a damn nice deer.

A beautiful gorgeous buck that would be a shooter for me anyday.  If you are a guy that would not consider this a shooter, then can I hunt behind you?  :dunno:

Like I have always said while a buck with mass and not alot of length or width may not score high in the books. Its goes higher in my book. Congrats on a very nice buck!!

 Re: I'm a lucky SOB.......
« Reply #235 on: December 19, 2010, 03:10:38 PM »That's a GREAT buck!   I gave him 72" for MB+ inside.  186" gross.   Hard to judge from pictures, though.   Regardless of score - STUD BUCK.

Just glad he is not grouping me into that "few internet experts about how far off I was and how close they were. Sorry boys, get a better monitor if your going to keep scoring bucks from your office space and putting people down"  bunch.   :chuckle:   Apparently, my 25" HD monitor is sufficient.... :chuckle:
