??? Posting Scores ???

Recommended Posts

Sorry guys but this has bugged me and wanted to get some other opinions

So this year I managed to kill a 120- and I have noticed a few people killing 90+ . That means there are lots of deer in between ;) These plus things drive me nuts. The deer have been harvested and the tape does not have a + on it last time I checked. How come we can't ever just get a solid what you measured the deer at. "I JUST SHOT A 115 +" well is it 115 and 2/8 or is it 130 and 6/8. Don't be shy and just post what the heck the deer really scores. Everyone will still be just has happy for you......

 

Anybody agree or am I just crazy......hahahaha

I get what you are saying Devin... but some guys really only care to know "about" what something scores... see it all the time... Guys thow a quick tape on some bone but don't add the 1/8's up so it scores..."about"...HaHaHa....

 

The ones that bug me are the ones that were 40" bigger before they get a B&C or P&Y score... I know a few guys that every bull they kill is 360+ til the official scorer stretches a steel tape on them... HaHaHa... ;)

If everyone will still be just as happy for you then why does it bother you if someone wants to post a +? It has nothing to do with someone being shy but you certainly have the right to your opinion. The score of an animal never has meant crap to me but I don't condem those who thrive on it. What the he!! makes the difference what someone wants to post? jmo

Usually when you hear the "+" it is actually 10 inches smaller. I constantly hear a 360+ bull that scored 320, even worse my friend texted me a 110+ buck and offical score was 93, I get what you're saying, it's just one of those things that goes on in our hunting community, I killed a 100- this year as well.

Thats the problem with hunting now days. It has turned into a competition of who can kill the highest scoring animal and throwing all ethics out the window for most people. (jmo) I was looking at some pics of some monster coues bucks that were killed a long time ago that never got scored or mounted. Its the hunting world we live in now days.

Hunters who need steel tapes to measure their success -- and the success of others -- are to be pitied.

Sadly, it's only going to get worse as we see the new generation of "hunters" who seem to get trophy critters handed to them. Make a difference- teach a kid HOW to hunt, not WHAT to hunt....

Shoot an animal, share a picture and a story! Thanks for doing that. If you want to hang a number on it great if not, great, no problem.
