RE: P&Y Scoring...WHY is it the way it is?
Whitetail minimums are (net) typical 125; Nontypical 155.
The first P&Y that I ever killed scored a gross of 146 4/8 but only netted 126 4/8. Still I don't have a problem with the scoring system per say. However,if I have to pay the $25.00 recording fee, I wish they would list both scores in the book instead of net only.
As has been mentioned "it is what it is". If you want to be a member of any club, you have to play by their rules or go elsewhere. It is always disappointing to get "bumped out" by the "letter of the law" so to speak, but on the other hand that is what makes it the "standard" that it is.
With all of the "QDM" trends going on I can't wait to hear the crying when the minimums get bumped up, which could happen someday.
