RE: Does a sticker off of a main beam make a buck NT ?
I believe that all you need to score the buck as a non-typical is 1" of abnormal point growth. You may score your bucks either way as long as they meet this requirement. It may or may not hurt you depending on what you decide to do.

This is true and untrue... depending on which scoring system you use of course. I understand Boone and Crockett and I am a measurer for them, so I'll explain their line of thinking. In fact... I'll just go ahead and quote it out right:
Quote:
ORIGNIAL: Measuring and Scoring North American Big Game Trophies - Second Edition - pg. 39
If there are numerous abonormal points, the non-typical score chart should be used so that the additional points can add to the final score, rather than being subtracted from it. If the abnormal points are few in number and short in length(s), use the typical score chart that provides for a subtraction of the total lengths of such points as a penalty for non-symmetry. If there is any doubt as to which score chart should be use, the trophy can be measured both ways. If the trophy qualifies for both the typical and non-typical catagories, it CANNOT be listed in both. The final choice of the listing catagory in such instances rests with the trophy owner.
In this instance, a single point would not, in my opinion, qualify a trophy as a non-typical. Not for the Boone and Crockett Records.

Although not a "rule" the P&Y measurer I use suggests listing a buck as a non typical if the rack has around 10% or greater of it's score in abnormal points, other wise he suggests the typical category.
EX. 180 inch deer with 18 inchesof abnormal points.
The choice is up to whom ever is entering the deer, only a suggestion he offers to those "caught" in that predicament.

Nope, Its just an abnormal point.
I'll explain a little better this time. 1st of all the point has to be at least an inch long and it can't be any shorter then its width or it will not count as a point. 2nd, back in the day you needed 10% I think it was of abnormal points for it to be a NT. Them days are gone. There is no percentage anymore. Its your choice if you have abnormal points and you want to score it as a NT or Typical. Most people will make the choice that suits the bucks score the best. If you only have a few inches of abnormal points, score it as a typical. If you have allot of inches of abnormal points, score it as a NT. A good P&Y or B&C measurer will tell you the right way to go about it.
