CD,

Yes, you have it right. A "3 point on one side" buck would actually be classified as a 6 pointer. If one side of the antlers fell off then it doesn't change anything...the buck still, "probably" would have been at least a 5 pointer, if not a 6, provided that the other antler hadn't fallen off.

I believe that they are saying that if something like this were to happen then it would be such a small percentage of the overall bucks out there that they aren't going to change the regulation around to compensate for it.
