RE: Do you REALLY care what a buck scores??
This will be my 18th year bow hunting. My biggest buck until this year scores around 80" Does that mean I'm not proud of them. Of course not. The buck I've gotten this year will make P&Y and yes I will enter it. Next season will my deer have to make P&Y to shoot it......no it will just have to be an impressive looking deer. If it makes book thats just a bonus. All these years of hunting and I finally shot a good buck of course I'm going to brag a little about the score!
I actually only recently began to start to understand about score. Thats because I rarely seen deer that where mature! So now I want to know what everything scores so I can get good at judging. When you see a deer in the field and say it was a ten point that means nothing to me. If you say it was a 140'' ten point now I know how big it was.
