I see alot of what you are talking about myself with these ridiculous television shows on these days. I personally believe that all of this scoring garbage is becoming a significant factor in an already declining sport. When I was a young kid growing up and shot a 6 pt buck I was thrilled to death but these days well if its not 4.5 yrs old and scores 140 or better well we have to let it walk. Dont get me wrong I enjoy big deer with the best of em but what message is being sent to these kids today who happen to watch a television show telling them the 4pt they shot that they should feel guilty about it. I was so excited when i 1st was able to get direct tv for the hunting shows as I live in the sticks but after the last 5 to 10 yrs of this crap on tv and thats exactly what it is I cant stand it anymore. Watching some fool hunting and blowing on his own personal brand of calls and miraculously here comes a 185" 13 pt deer. I will only let my 13 yr old son watch some of them because of the stupid stuff they say and push about deer and hunting in general. Anyways back to your question. i am not any authority or good at field scoring deer myself so sorry I cant help you.
