[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 4529751, member: 131"] Generally speaking, in my eyes, yes that can be true. I am probably in the minority here, but the number of points means nothing to me when it comes to bucks I target. Generally speaking, if the gross score, say 140", were to remain the same for an 8 point, a 10 point and a 12 point, I would rather kill the 8 point. I can promise you the 140" 8 point will more times than not have a better frame ([i]width and height[/i]), longer beams, longer tines, better spread, and better mass measurements IF all of the above bucks had a gross score of 140". Now if you want to wish for the stars, yes, I'd rather the buck have EVERYTHING including numbers of points, but that is so unrealistic in fair chase hunting, that I do not even set myself up for failure by believing a buck of that caliber will walk by me. I am not pessimistic, just realistic in the fair chase world. [/QUOTE]
