Rack score does not mean much to me. I do measure mine or use the score in hunting talk, only to describe the size. In my opinion tho, I dont use the score to determine if the deer is a shooter or should be mounted. If the rack is nice and I think it is special, I shoot and score after Im already at the taxidemist. I have seen 100 inch deer mounted that are beautiful and have special meaning behind the harvest. I have also seen 200 inch deer that obviously look impressive. Its all about what you want and the enjoyment of the hunt.
