RE: Truth on Antler Scores.
 

I think this discussion is great!

I have recently established a collection of racks... None of them have scored outstandingly yet, but I too have two mature bucks that will score in the 130's/140's but if not for a couple of things would have been 150+ bucks.

My cross-bow buck was post mature, it must have been a great deer in previous years, but it had lost it's G-3 on the right side (only 1-inch) and other then tremendous G-2 length, mass, and main beam length doesn't have much to score off of it's 11-points.

My rifle buck had a rear broken leg which led to it's left antler being significantly dwarfed after it's injury.

Lot's of character, but not much for score (relatively speaking). I would doubt 99.9% of hunters would have let either of these beasts walk by their respective stands though

Here is the Kentucky buck (right rear leg broken)

And the very old cross-bow buck.
