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.

Just for the record, I never doubted or insuated you were inflating the score.

My earlier posts about scoring were centered around some deer that people were posting as scoring in the low 100's, when in fact they appeared to be 90's or less.

DC I remember your posts about scores in the contest.

It was before I even took my buck this fall. I did notice that the guys who have and do take some of the bigger bucks each year did not question my score posted.

Nice deer Buckeye!!!!!!!
Keep us posted when the official score comes in.

I hope everything works out for you and the mount lasts forever. I only asked questions because I don't want to see a fellow hunter get the short end of the stick when it comes to something so irreplaceable as a head mount.

I did do some research on taxidermy.net and it appears that some of the newer chemicals coming out are just as good as the traditional methods. I guess my taxidermist has just been doing it the traditional way for so long, he just sticks to what he knows.

Congrats Buckeye!

i dont think i replied to your post on that buck at all and i just wanna say congrats too you, great looking buck!! and mount.
And i wouldn't question your score on him, by the pics he looks 161 to me.

I hope you really dont care about what people think or what he scores, when i saw the deer i didnt think 161 but who cares, im not one to judge you and if i were you i wouldnt give two cents on what any other person on the board thiks he scores because you are the one with the tape, after all you know as well as i do there are alot of freakin pro's on this board

Thanks guys

I really don't care what people think he scores. I care that some people think I would lie or cheat in the bowhunting contest.

I mean it's a TEAM contest not an individual contest. I have nothing to gain by stretching the tape purposely as some said I did. I am not like that. You can tell by many of my posts I am an honest guy and have no problem sharing my thoughts, right or wrong on many subjects here on the board.

I also have 5 or 6 friends who use the board. How big of an A$$ would one look like lying on the internet for everybody and your friends to see? Thats just not me.

Now I am just rambling. Take care everyone.

Now that is stretching it a little bit..

*EDIT* Should read "I am an honest guy except with that IBM fellow" [8D]
