Thanks Shed...never knew that BnC took both, hence my confusion. Makes sense I suppose.
The VA contest however, is not scored the same way. I was led to understand its the same as BTR but I may be mistaking. I do know 100% however, that our big game contest does not use net score, only gross (no deductions). So the score you get here, is the total inches of bone, not what someone's idea of a perfect deer looks like.
Swamp, our local big buck contest do the same.. straight gross scoring, no deductions..I personally would choose this format over any...I didnt mean to incline that I was into buck with perfect symmetry.. for example..
instead, I just wanted to make the point that I know my state produces a couple buck of the caliber that make the B/C net standards..typical or non I could care less..either..and I'd like to find one and hunt him.. I will say this... A buck that NETS B/C in either Typical or NON... is a PIG! he has to be to get past all the DEDUCTIONS! LOL
have a good one..obtw..I didnt see my darnedgobbler this evening..sat for 2.5 hours after work...glassing for him.. I'll get back after him tomorrow..
