I was just messing with Ty, wasn't meant towards you. But you are definitely in the 200" club! Actually I'm not. I didn't enter my deer in the contest.
Not officially entered yet by Fitz lol....i'll update it this next week when not on phone only. (Traveling currently)
This is a club I never thought I’d be a part of. Still speechless to knock down a 150+ on public. I put the work in to do it and knew there was a possibility but the whole thing didn’t seem real until I laid my hands on the deer. Coming from TN where 100” deer is a great deer, it just seemed like a fallacy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
How about a Trophy Doe Tracker? Everyone knows its much harder to kill an old Trophy Doe than these bucks.
Yeah granted I'd bet we got slightly better deer here than your normal area in TN, I don't ever plan on this happening without excursions elsewhere. Just hunt far to small and chopped up land chunks around with tons of pressure for many targets to reach the 150 range or higher. The one property that has the potential the landowner is stuck in the mud on making it better so continues to just hold potential not show it. Congrats again, your buck on public to boot is just awesome!
Technically outside of MNpurple the one year, every person to make to 200 points has had to involve a doe (or I guess a second buck now once that rule changed).
The only real sour taste I had in my mouth was the deducts my deer suffered. My buck, from '13, grossed 174 2/8 but barely netted 152". The differences btw sides and the deductions hit my deer hard. I understand that there has to be a standard, but nothing in nature is prefect, so why do we count against it? My buck was a "typical" 10 with extras. There wasn't enough to add to the score, so they counted against the deer. It's just my preference. This was the first deer I've ever had scored.

Can you not have him scored as a typical rather than a non-typical and get the junk deductions thrown out? I've never been much for net scoring, so not real sure how it works when you opt to enter one as a typical rather than non-typical.
He is scored as a typical, but don't have enough extra to be scored as a non-typical. Don't quote me, but I believe it took 14 inches to count instead of deduct. Sent from my SM-N900V using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Yeah, I don't know about the whole deductions thing. Big 9's really take a beating as well for no reason. Won't enter one with deductions just as I would never use an oufitter(never used one at all) that tacks on trophy fees if you shoot sometging bigger than xxx or penalty if sgooting something smaller than xxx. I understand the latter more than the former, but just my opinion.
