RE: Do you REALLY care what a buck scores??
Yeah, I care what a buck scores. When I look at a buck through my bino's if I dont think he will score over a certain number and if hes not a mature buck, then I dont shoot. I lease part of the ranch out to a group of guys each year. I wont allow them to shoot any "trophy" bucks unless they are mature, and I have to know the score of the deer (along with other things) for my personal records. Around here measuring a buck is the first thing that is done after he is shot and field dressed. I'm not in a competition against anybody I simply like big deer, and I like shooting big deer.
