Why are so many people obsessed with the score of a deer's rack? Is this a flippin' video game? Anyone with 2oz of sense would say that that is an awesome deer. To quantify it to a composite of the measurements degrades what it is, which is a very impressive example of nature's (read God's) glory. The sad part is that there are idiots out there that would call this guy a "cull buck" because he's 3 1/2 years old and doesn't score 220+ and just won't ever get there. To me, it's sad, really. But I get "can't breathe" excited over a deer like the big bodied 4 pointer I shot a couple weeks ago... I have almost 60 lbs of Landjaegers and summer sausage from that guy... and as my 4 year old daughter likes to say, it's delicious! Maybe I'm in it for the wrong reasons... no, I don't think so.

You won't have a snowballs chance at that one. He didn't get big because he's stupid.

He's got a "sweet rack" but his "genes are no good", my a$$. Please explain how a deer with a great big rack has bad genes. I thought that big racks = good genes. So how can you tell by looking at a picture that this deer somehow has bad genes? And what constitutes "good genes?"

This is the problem with the whole Quality Deer Management movement. It's basically turned a bunch of rank amateurs into self styled wildlife geneticists that got their qualifications watching canned hunts on the Outdoor Channel.
