RE: Gross vs Net
This is one of the main reasons why I will probably never enter any of my bucks.
I understand that you have to come up with a way to measure a deers antler size and for he most part I don't have a problem with what dimensions are measured: beam length, inside spread, tine length andcircumferences throughout the length of the antler. It may not be perfect but it pretty much covers it.
Where I have the problem is (like most of us) in the deductions. I think the problem is that a long time ago someone thought"symmetrical" is what everyone believes to be a perfect rack.
I for one, don't agree with that.
