I'm not much for counting sticker points that much either like many do trying to "stretch" the animals score
I disagree with this statement.
I do no believe that stating the gross non-typical score is "stretching" the animals score. I believe it is stating the total amount of antler that the animal grew.
I do agree with the rest of your post though. Number of typical points stated along with the gross typical score is really the best way to determine the animals frame size.
When talking scores I like to hear the total number of points along with the total gross score as well as the number of typical points along with the gross typical score. I really have a good idea of the racks size then. Net doesn't really mean a whole lot to me.
