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

Once the tape was brought out this guy ended up over 32” or 32 1/4” wide…

So you boys think he was closer to 190” or 200”???

Closer to 190 to me.

190 or 200 who cares awesome buck. Also pictures can be deceiving both ways some look smaller some look bigger. Just be grateful you harvested such a magnificent animal.

They're not. The velvet one is 198 7/8 and the other is 198 4/8 gross if I remember right. These are both really special deer and they still don't truly make it over 200. I am guilty of rounding up and sometimes saying they're right at 200. I don't think I'm the flagrant exaggerator the OP was pointing out though.

If you remember right
Pretty sure you remember, unless you fell and hit your head.

I honestly don't remember for sure. I've been very fortunate and have More than my fair share of good bucks. The scores just a number. It doesn't change what they are or what they mean to me.

I’ve had two bulls scored. The first one made Pope and Young by 3/8 of an inch at 260 3/8. It was my very first archery elk and I entered it in the book. Obviously it’s not a big bull at all and I just had it scored out of curiosity. It’s nice to know an exact score on an elf to help you judge them in the future.

I’ve had way bigger pools than that scored and never entered them. Never posted them on the Internet either.

I’ve done a lot of musky fishing. Fisherman are known for being liars. lol I’ve caught about 700 of them. Eight were over 50 inches. I know a guy who has caught probably four or five times more than I have. He has never caught a 49 incher. Lol
