Screw score with older deer IMO. The deer on my wall don't score for shit. The trophy in them for me is that they are all 6.5 years old. I could very well go the rest of my career and never kill a deer that old or older. Once they get to 5, they are all trophies IMO regardless of score. And Stubby is a beast that will score, so he is a true win-win!
