I am sure the question about his score boils down to the net versus gross as mentioned above. All those deductions add up and I have no problem believing he is near 160 gross and 135 net. The problem is a when people compare him in their head to other 160 class bucks that were probably scored net since that is the official P&Y method for typicals. My biggest is a typical 8 point that scored 152 7/8 net and his rack dwarfs this one even though mine only scored 156 6/8 gross.
I agree. The deer hunting contest called for gross non typical score so this is the score I posted. I also said it would net mid 130's. Some still wanted to argue.
What can ya do though? I will listen to them tell me my tape is broke or whatever else they wish. If it makes him and some others feel better about them selves then go right on ahead. I know what the deal is and truthfully that is all that really matters.
