[QUOTE="MBB, post: 1533919, member: 2658"] IMHO, scoring deer is like judging art. The impact a set of antlers has on a person is subjective; different people will have different likes and dislikes. It should be qualitative, not quantitative. In other words, measuring the length, girth, and spread on a set of antlers only loosely correlates to the emotional response a person will have when viewing the antlers, and only the emotional response really matters. A hunter can admire his or another's antlers without a "score". If the hunter referenced in the OP is proud of his deer, then that's wonderful and should really be the end of the discussion. I don't fully understand why it is so important to be recognized by a self-proclaimed group of experts that are using an inadequate yard-stick to measure "success". ETA: and this is coming from an engineer that likes to measure everything! [/QUOTE]
