Post by: 509er on April 14, 2011, 06:03:10 AM: 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 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.

Post by: MtnMuley on April 14, 2011, 07:54:14 AM: 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. :)

Post by: WAmuleyHunter on April 14, 2011, 08:05:25 AM: 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!!!!!

That's a damned good deer in any state.

Cool photo, the smile says it all.

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

Post by: Skyvalhunter on April 15, 2011, 06:18:35 AM: 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!!

« 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:
