You can classify your buck either way, if it has abnormal points. A 200" non-typical could also be called a 170" typical with 30" of junk.
I would say for the plain old name "non-typical", you could throw in any deer that had too much abnormal growth to consider scoring typical.
Exactly! It use to be the buck needed I think 10% of abnormal points to qualify for non typical but thats no longer the case. Its up to the individual hunter if it has abnormal points if he wants to score it as non typical or typical. Generally people will go with the score that benefits them most. Example would be for B@C- If the buck scores 170" net typical and then you score this same buck as a non typical because he does have some abnormal points and he scores 180" net non typical. Your better off scoring him as a typical because he doesn't have enough abnormal points to make it in the B@C books as a non typical. As was said earlier the minimums are 170" net for typical and 195" net for non typical.
