[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 4240293, member: 10373"] Reading many of these responses I began to wonder about point creep. Not the kind discussed in the thread about drawing a tag for PI, but the kind hunters tend to do when it comes to scoring bucks. The differences between 120 and 130 is only 10 inches but a huge difference on top of a deer's head. I won't mention names, but some are prone to exaggeration. BSK is one who is always very realistic when he discusses scores. But others are not. I blame this on deer hunting shows mostly that often puff up their kills. One thing I've learned since joining Ames is that my perceptions get reduced to reality very quickly on that concrete pad. So whenever an Ames member discusses scores of dead deer, it's a real score and not an estimate. Of course, what anyone sees running through the woods and not killed can be anything you want. For my own edification, whenever a bucks score is mentioned, if it's a provable and verified, could you put brackets [130] around it? [/QUOTE]
