I got back from getting my deer scored tonight and asked the scorer these same questions.
For a 6 pointer with brow tines, Buckeye is right.
For a 6 pointer without brow tines I was told H-1 is between the burr and the first point (smallest measurement), H-2 is taken between the first and second point and the H-3 and H-4 are taken half the distance from the last point to the tip of the main beam.
As someone mentioned before, a spike has all 4 measurements taken in the center of the spike.
I am not saying your official measurer is "wrong" I am just saying that my P&Y guide to scoring whitetail deer says differently.....
It says, and I am quoting directly from the P&Y publication. "If the brow tine is completely missing, the circumference is taken at the smallest place between the burr and the normal second point, G2 and recorded for bothH-1 and H-2......
I looked and looked for this book over the past years and could never find it until just the other day.... I was looking for old tax stuff in the filing cabinet and I found it in the filingcabinet???? I have no idea how it got in there???? [&:]
That was me who guessed on how to scorea spikes H measurements.... Not to bad a guess
It has no refrence in my book to this.....
