Note: It's a multiple post question.

This is a question for all you guys that have had some experience on scoring antlers. I'm pretty new to it, so I'm trying to learn about all of the little rules and such. I have been using the program on B&C.com so my questions will be refering to that. Here's a link to the program:

I know how to score the basic typical antler: ie: G1, G2, G3...; H1, H2, H3, H4 and such....see below picture.

Question 1:

This first question refers to antlers that haven't grown a tine....this example uses a browtine. Because the G1 isn't present, do you just mark a "0" in that column and put in a G2 measurement...or do you go to the next point, (normally the G2), and use that as your G1 measurement?
See pic:

Question 2:

This question is similar to the above question, because thats the only shed I had...but it can also pertain to any broken point. If the tine was present at one time, but is now broken off...do you just place a "0" in that column...or does it become nul and void and you take the next tine in line and place that in the column.

Sorry for the confusion because its a browtine again...but try to use the logic and put it in place of another tine.

This kind of all sums up in the scoring process for this years buck.....sorry he was taken with a flintlock this year....but hopefully you guys can help me out. As you can see in thepic...he only grew one browtine....so would the other side's "normal G2" be considered the G1...or should I put a "0" in for the G1 and count it as a G2?






Thanks for all your help in this long-winded question!!!

I've always wondered that two, and what makes a browtine or a G2? My buck had browtines but they were high enough to be G2's? Great questions, sorry I have no answers!

G1's are always the brow tines. Just leave that spot blank. When one is broke off and is not an inch long put a blank in that spot and move on. You will get your 4 circumfrance measurements always.

Thanks MOTOWN, even though this isn't my post I was wondering too!

Thanks....I didn't know wether you put a zero or took the next available tine....and NOW I KNOW
