Score isn't everything, its a great WA buck and the hunter is happy so that is all that really matters.

That's a damned good deer in any state. 

Cool photo, the smile says it all.

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?

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!!

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.      Apparently, my 25" HD monitor is sufficient....
