RE: FOR ALL YOU DOUBTERS!!!LOL!!!!
Daxter and all other professiomnal photo scorers:
I live in Saskatchewan and am familiar with this buck. This rack was at an awards night last month, and about oh...I don't know, maybe 500 people...got to see it in person. Curiosly enough, the rack had been scored by then, by of all things, hehehe, a real live official P&Y scorer. (We do have them up here, can't say for sure about any real live Profesional Photo scorers though). You are right though, there was some controversy over the score. The initial score was just shy of 277, and those of you who know archery realize the importance of that number. The controversy came in the fact that the P&Y scorer did not score one point because he was not willing to call it legal. Those of us that have seen this rack will tell you that the point is legal. So in reality, it should have scored slightly higher. The score after 60 days was 274 and change. Your OFFICIAL photo score sheet is low on all accounts. The typical frame went 219 net. Add 55 and change on the non-typ and the score is what it is. It has been officially scored and that is that. I would suggest that you realize there are real live official scorers outside of the US and they follow the same rules as the ones down there.
By the way, this buck was known to a few hunters who had been trying very hard to tag him the last three years. They, and the guy who shot him, all say the same thing.....he was bigger last year.
I'm sure you'll have some reason to disagree.
