Does everyone that kills a 190 class buck just round up to 200”?

[Hnthrdr]

I've got a 199" deer and I'd still rather get a 200" deer than a 400" elk. 199" is not 200".

That’s a toss up for me, I saw what I am 95% sure was a 400 inch bull and was an unreal specimen… never seen something like that outside of Estes park on the hoof… just dwarfed every other bull and cow he was with, would like to see a true 200” buck so I can compare how each made me feel haha

Crazy what 10” looks like! All those id be thrilled with

It’s a substantial jump for sure. I’ll have to get some heads together for a comparison. I have a wide variety haha.

Me and a buddy’s line up from ‘25. Bottom two are blacktails

Left side is
185”
180”
140”

Right side is
178”
164”
(Didn’t score the 3x3)

I got to spend about an hour within 60 yards of a 400” bull waiting for a shot with my bow and then got to see him on someone’s wall the following year. A 200”deer is much more rare where I live. I’d make the argument that a giant free range mule deer is one of the few species that can’t be bought.

That’d be an idea for a YouTube channel I could get behind. Become an official scorer and walk around trade shows with a tape asking people if you can score their mounts.

I’ve seen clips of a guy that does that with dudes heights. He asks them how tall they are and then pulls out a tape after they tell him same same

Try asking women their weight and pulling out a scale.

I’ve seen a guy that goes around asking if height matters to chicks and when they say yes he puts a scale down and asks them to stand on it. Most refuse

A lot of my clients from back east would absolutely lose it when they saw a 150in mule deer. When all people have seen there whole life is basket whitetails its hard to convince them they are looking at an immature mule deer

Men have been rounding up on size since the cave man days. Blame natural selection

Nope, but we did kill 183 with 19” beams… if only it rained a touch more last spring

That’s got to be a cool looking buck though! Let’s see him

Technology may soon (or already) be able to help call BS on score rounder uppers and bro guessing. I recently heard about scoring apps for lidar equipped phones such as the iphone max. Maybe someone that has a newer iPhone could test this and verify accuracy against animals with known scores? My android doesn't have lidar sensors so I can't do it. Again, no idea how accurate these are but like anything using ai and technology it will only get better and more accurate with time.

Fishermen are also well known for rounding up. Can't tell you how many 17 inch 22 inchers I've seen.

Dang rain, keeping you from that next level buck! I’m gonna use that excuse when I shoot a 210 raghorn again… dang rain kept him from being a 350 bull!
