"Why post a score higher than what your deer really scores?"

Scores never did that muchfor me. i love to watch those phoney hunts on high fench ranches where the guy gets out his rackulator as soon as the protein fed buck hits the ground. The best buck i ever killed was in 1965. It was not scored until 1993. People lie about antler scores for the same reason that the brown troutthey catch grows from 17" to 28": They just like to lie about such things.
