Well, only a little - check out my hat in the photo. It's a double drop tine 11-pointer I killed in Columbia, Tenn. in 2007. The article is in QDMA's latest edition of Quality Whitetails. It's about a different take on trophy hunting, and I hope you enjoy it.

Nice buck, congrats Gil. Does the 110" score include the double drops? He looks better than that in this one pic, although not a ton better, some better.

I drive around Columbia and see monsters all over the place at night (on duty). Carrington Farms, Antrim Circle and hidden lakes, Gholson Hill, Trotwood Ave and many other places. I am so glad to see someone capitalizing on one of our great deer! Congratulations. I would give anything to hunt Graymere Country Club and Camp Gray owl on CC Lane. Monsters roam there at night.

Yes, the double drop tines are deductions, which brings the score down. If they had been slightly longer, it would have been scored as an atypical and been up in the 130s. The article is about reasons why or why not a trophy is a trophy. In this case, the deer is a trophy to me even though it doesn't translate into score.

Most everyone overscores it, which is why it's such a great example of score not always translating to trophy status. The double drop tines are a deduction. If they were slightly longer, they would bring the deer into the atypical category, and the deer would have scored in the 130s. I love that a true trophy in my eyes only scores 110.

This was a private lease my buddies unfortunately lost a few years back. I was always amazed at the deer and turkeys on it. What a bonanza in both numbers and size! Thanks.

Good deal! As far as scoring, regardless of what a deer might score if it's a trophy to the hunter that's all that matters. As far as I'm concerned, a score only reflects a mental image of what a buck might look like without actually laying eyes on him. Also, in my mind a score should reflect what a buck grows. I just don't understand how if it's there it can be counted as a deduction. Piss on net scores. I want to know what the gross score is. I understand there's a typical and a non-typical division. The same buck can and will score differently depending on which way he's scored. Ridiculous.

The article takes it a step further. Piss on net AND gross score. What about a great doe hunt? Or your child's first deer? Or a fantastic adventure where you don't tag on anything. Of course, I ain't pissin' on scores, but I was just making a broader point.

10-4, what I was thinking. Congrats on your trophy, regardless of score, just as the article eludes to. Thanks again for sharing.
