[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5394443, member: 1409"] To me, it is a combination of criteria creating the "trophy" aspect of any deer. Some of my best trophies have been some old does, a couple of which cost me several trophy bucks over the years. Although no antlers to score, they were very special trophies. As to those bucks, "score" is merely one of many criteria. Age is very important to me, and with age, usually comes "mass". A lower scoring buck with more "mass" usually is the better trophy to me. And along similar thought to mass, to me, usually, a 140" mainframe 8-pointer is a far better trophy than a 140" mainframe 12-pointer, as the 8-pointer will stand out due to his "mass". If you really want to see a "massive" trophy buck, get your hands on a 140" mainframe 6-pointer. Last but not least, "history" with a particular buck can add immensely to that buck's status as a "trophy" to you. But as to [I]ANY[/I] state's "Top 10", I suspect most that would be there, have never been "scored". This is the case whether we're talking TN, KY, IL, or whatever state. [/QUOTE]
