I totally agree! I had the same issue with the one I shot in '12. Not enough to be non-typical. So they counted against me. It booked at 152 due to "deductions". Nets are for fish IMO. My buck grossed 174 2/8. Great buck, Clint!
LOL! Is this a real post or a social security type of scam call/post? Did you pay the taxidermist off and tell him to score it higher if he could? Otherwise - sure go with the score he gave you. Unless he's trying to help you win the contest - if that is the case then I think you should be disqualified forever.
Post that ****!!!! It was scored by a taxidermist, so unless he is also on team 3 then I think it’s safe to say you’re good. Besides, there is only one user in this contest that I could imagine being so brazen as to question his own score if he was actually cheating... and my understanding is that as of last Tuesday, the Iowa DNR was dealing with that issue.
It's not a clear cut main frame... It's obvious where the issues could be. I don't have a issue with the new score. Congrats on the buck btw
It was legitimate, you're not going to look at the 2 entry photos and think it has 19 points. I don't have access to the rack if it came into question.
You’ve been a member here long enough and have a good reputation... It’s only an issue for me if your team wins! Lol I don’t have an issue with it but I am no one...
Your missing the point. I dont have anything against guys who make mistakes. Everyone is human. The point I was making this wasn't a mistake. Mistakes are bad math, measuring the wrong spots etc. Not over exaggerating every score. Mass scores. Explain to me how you make mistakes on those? You keep your finger in the loop when measuring?
Your obviously cheating. It's totally how you roll on this site. Lol Nah man. I think everyone agrees that's a legit deer and a legit score. Well done.
First time posting on this thread but team 8 is killing it! That is all haha Sent from my SM-S120VL using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Wasn't the boonie, but same shirt and pants on the recovery. I'm telling ya, routines and consistency are key.
I remember my first deer..... Lmao Awesome buck man. I shouldn't talk. I haven't seen a buck over 2 years old this year. We have like 2' of snow already which is crazy for this time of year. And the moon has been full all season. And the wind is always blowing in a 360. Those are my excuses and I'm sticking to them.
Well, as a team captain, I went to their team thread (19) and called them out on this to help their member get an accurate score posted. I guess I would rather bring it out in the open rather than let it fester any longer. It is painfully obvious to anyone that has ever put a tape to a set of antlers that this buck is stretched at least 20 inches and probably more. Not accusing anyone of anything intentional, but it needs resolved to keep the contest fun and well intentioned.
To be honest I've always thought over the years surely with each year scores will get better...but all I know is I strongly wish I could in sound mind claim some of my 120 class bucks were 140s....I mean iHunt's tape measure was all in good fun, but someone stole his and added even more it appears this year. I 100% get unintended things happen, but folks merely don't even spot check or compare to trusted folks already posted deer that everyone has accepted as a fair reasonable score. If it weren't for the solid times and awesome friends I've formed in the contest I wouldn't even join...
Hey guys, I sent my team mate with the score in question a PM. We will get it corrected. I am not team Captain this year, so I did not bother to double check his score card post. When he posted 141 on the team thread I assumed it was a typo and it was 114. We will get it fixed.
Zero worries as I no doubt bet it is or will be corrected now...it ain't the first one that makes ya scratch your noggin and it won't even be the last this year.
FWIW this is example of a good scorer.... I would have even guessed these bucks about 5-10” bigger but he’s probably right on the money. I think a lot of guys take the biggest girth measurements instead of smallest and simply don’t know where to accurately measure the times from at the main beam. As for the above entry it just seems too many credits that don’t count were added. Im sure just an oversight. A guy my uncle hunts with is a “retired” p&y scorer and he just shakes his head what people say their deer score. Not that that’s what matters.
And while I’m in the smack talkin thread I’m sure it’s not common practice to smack talk your own team mates but @anthonyzink if you’re somewhere out there.....anywhere.....somewhere over the rainbow. Enter your buck in the SCORECARD thread!!! This guy shoots the best buck so far on our team in early October, probably in the 140-150” range, posts pics to team thread but not scorecard, and then vanishes without a Trace. Never to be heard from again. Anthonyzink Why do you Spite us!?!?!? Lol. No for real if anyone knows Anthony or talks to him outside the forum let him know. We already sent pm’s
I would not have guessed him that high but I take your word for it because pics also don’t show All the hidden junk. They can also be very deceiving with angle and other “camera magic”. Just goes to show if you don’t have the rack and tape in your own hands you just can’t say for sure.... unless they are like 50 inches off. Lol very nice buck btw
