First off, congrats to the hunter and big kudos for taking that beast with traditional equipment.

As for the score, I know when I look at some of the 190-200" deer mounts at Cabelas I think to myself that they don't seem to be that big, but they are. Also, we don't know what scoring method they were using. Certain scoring methods such as SCI don't take away as many deductions as B&C and P&Y. So, it's entirely possible they those scores are accurate, just on a different system.

Whatever he scores, he is a giant and will make one heck of a story for that lucky hunter to tell for the rest of his days.
