You have made some good points. I don't have a problem with someone who questions the scoring of a deer, I do however have a problem with folks (read AKA) who call legit deer fakes all the time. Those people think they are being cute, but in reality, they are just being an arsehole.

I new nothing about this deer when I first posted the original pic. Over the past week I have gathered bits of info. from friends, via other friends, via their friends who new the shooter personally. It goes to show you that a 160 class deer can grow to a 188 class deer rather quickly. None the less, I thought my info was coming from good sources (one of them who actually saw the deer at the taxidermist). I live and hunt only 15 miles from where this deer was killed and know numerous people who know the shooter, but none the less was given inaccurate information because they were all guessing what the deer would score, vrs. waiting for an accurate B&C score. I just goes to show you how little many of us know about scoring deer properly (including myself).

Live and learn......
