No question about it
For any species
It’s doesn’t give enough credit though for abnormals
Your buck doesn’t score well buddy but it is still a monster
I’d take your 185” whitetail over that claim to be 179 or the claimed 10” mass deer anyday

It was scored as a 5x5 and netted 185, had it been scored as a 4X5, or 4x4 it would have grossed higher because of both mass measurements and time length, that’s where the extra 6” would have come in, and the measurer said it could have easily been scored that way as well. It grossed 192 and netted 185 as a 5x5 but would have grossed 198 and netted 183-4/8 as a 4x4. In any case, it’s literally one of the most awesome looking bucks I’ve laid hands on, and a lot of guys at the show said the same thing. It’s colossal.
