Absolutely, and I don't disagree. Skill trumps luck every time, regardless of location. But I agree that just because your rack scores over 125, it surely doesn't mean that you are automatically good. If you hunt an area that has an abundance of deer over 125, it doesn't take near the amount of skill to harvest one. If they are 1 in 100....and you consistently tag one, I want to know what you know. Antler size is all relative....if a 3-4yr old buck goes 100" to 110" like many of the folks that hunt,and a 2yr old in other areas goes 120-130....its easy to see how size doesn't directly correlate to skill or ability. A 110" in some areas is probably equal to a 140" in many other areas. Killing a P&Y in some areas is probably equal to killing a B&C in other areas....BUT who gets more credit? Its ALWAYS the guy with the bigger score, unfortunately.

Its kinda like the credit scoring system in finance....it doesn't take into account income or assets. You could have$1,000,000 in the bank, and make $50k/mo....but if your credit score is 580....you are treated like dirt.
