RE: Do you REALLY care what a buck scores??
When everyone is talking about what a deer scored it sometimes takes the best part out of hunting. I try to remember the hunt and how everything went when I remember deer I have taken. Not what the score of the rack, but more of the chase that went into putting you on the path the deer was going to travel, the excitement of watching it close the gap, and the shot you made. I was lucky enough to harvest a nice 10 point buck last year, and I havent had it measured because yea it might go 140 but should I feel dissapointed if it went 130 or less? Anyway I think we are all thinking right and scoring is just a way for us to further measure the great trophies we sometimes get lucky enough to get.
