Unless we had everyone have their deer officially gross scored for the contest by an official b/c or p/y scorer we will never have exacts. I really dont thinkits so much adeception issue, I simply think folks don't have a lot of experience with accurate measuring.
I'd agree with this. I'm not in the contests, but I score all my deer according to the scoresheet from B&C. I have to say my calculations come out way higher than what I think the deer actuallyare by visibly looking at the rack based on other racks and their scores. I usually try to cut myself short in my measurements too (if anything) because the ultimate score seems to always come out higher than I think it really is. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I follow all the measurements to a T.
That being said ....... I think I like my way of scoring better anyway whatever it is Im doing[8D]
