On this site the definition seems to have changed so I guess we just roll with the flow? I also have taken deer just like the one you describe. When most folks that I actually know and hunt with talk of bucks they would refer to that deer of yours as a 150 class 10 pointer with "some trash/stickers". Here, many members would say that it was indeed a 170 class buck and not even mention the fram size???? I actually noticed this alot when Buckeye took his "160 class" buck and the debate and all that followed that deal? Many insisted that the deer be called a 130 class typical and not the 160 he was calling it. Personally when I look at the nice buck I do not see a 160 buck NOR do I see a 130 class buck, instead I see him for a 140-150 class buck with some "trash". Of course once many accepted that here I almost felt to go through and "update" many of my scores..... hey cool.... I've taken a handful of 160 and 170 class bucks! That does sound a lot better???

For all purposes, I'm interested in FRAME size to get the feel of what kind of animals we're talking about so I would prefer someone tell me GROSS typical score. For instance, you tell me you have a 170 class buck hanging on your wall then I'm thinking a B&C class frame size not a 150 class with stickers. To be a non-typical he needs a lot of trash of something really strange and unusual.

Examples:

I would call this a typical, I wouldn't possibly try adding the fork and sticker to his score



This is what it takes IMO to be called a non-typ, lots of character, a little bit of everything..... these bucks are my favorites
