Default Scoring trophies

I do not really care about how much a game animal scores. I very seldom measure mine but I have done it to amuse myself a few times. However, I do find it funny when I see a mount or a picture where someone claims a score that is absolutely unbelievable.

Looking at an elk rack that would score somewhere around 300" if a tape was properly applied and seeing the hunter claim 340" or 360" just tickles me. Same goes for some of the 80" pronghorns and 190" mule deer out there.

Of course the fellows on TV hunting shows can score a running animal within an inch or so at 800 yards and "pass on them" if they are not up to snuff. Amazing talent.
