so now that im pretty clear on what constitutes a nontypical. take this buck for example. it has a 1 3/4 inch kicker coming off the main frame so therefore its NOT considered "abnormal" therefore not a nontypical.. correct? a nontypical has at least oneabnormal point coming off one of the tines... yes?
It is an abnormal point. Abnormal points come off the main beam as well. If points come off of the main beam where they shouldn't, its more then likely a abnormal point, in your case it is. As long as its an inch long it can be a abnormal point. You would score this particular buck in your picture as a typical though, it wouldn't make sense to score it as a non typical being it don't have hardly any abnormal points besides the one you pointed out. That 1 1/2 sticker off of the main beam would be a deduction.
