The "water displacement" scoring method would only give a perfectoverall mass score, nothing else. You wouldn't have any tine/beam lenghts or any beam diameters. I don't think that method would bevery popular at all.

Longer the tine, the more water it displaces

A longer skinny tine might displace the same amount of water as a shorter fatter tine, so there!



Like I said,all you wouldget is a mass score.
There really is No arguing that the water displacement method of measuring would give a Buck the true credit for what bone he grew, whether it be skinny or mass. It's still bone. I've seen many bucks with very massive tines that scored well, but in all truth they receive no credit for massive tines. A tall skinny tined buck with tines of the same length would/could actually score the same. Like I said No argument that it would be the most accurate.
Well I guess you can argue about it, but Not with me![8D]
