I don't really buy into the theory of knowing a score tells you more about the rack.......it might............it might not.

Rob PABowyer arrowed that weird racked broken thingamajig and if he told you he arrowed a 79" deer that is not what you would picture.

My brother killed an 8pt with great mass a few years back and it scores around 120. There is no way anyone would picture what this thing looks like from that score. It is all palmated and looks more like a moose antler then a deer.

My 13 pointer is a perfect 10 on one side (5 points) and the other side has 8 points with non typical weirdness that you would never picture in your head just because I told you the score.


You can describe a rack to someone in great detail without giving them the score and they will have a much clearer picture then any number could ever give them.

Score could mean anything............could mean great mass or thin........could be long tines or short.......could be narrow or wide spread.........or any combo of all of them.
