I completely agree with you. It should be total inches of bone. If the animal has a typical rack it should be total inches. That’s why I don't have anything in the books. But it is what it is. I've seen some really outstanding deer not given its due justice because of the faulty scoring system. My bull this year is teetering on the B&C books around the 368 gross mark but after deductions I don't think he'll make it.
