I see a rash of posts lately with the question "What do you think he will score?" included somewhere.

My question is do you guys REALLY care what some book says your deer scores?

and if that "score" turns out to be less then you hoped..........do you then feel not as good about the deer as you would have if the score was higher??


It is mind boggling to me how some people can have this HUGE brute of a buck on the ground and still need the validation of someone else to say how good a deer it is.


Maybe I am reading into it wrong..........I mean I could see if depending on the score you have a new world record and lots of income on the line........but I can't imagine any other scenerio that would warrant any concern over what number they say your deer falls into.

140-150-160-170............how important is that??...........when compared to the true treasure of the memory of that hunt that only YOU get to play over and over in your mind for the rest of your life..........and the years of stories you tell when someone sees him on your wall.


Just seems like scoring has been obsessive around here lately so I thought I would ask.
