I am going to go get one to honor my father. (Tad bit of his ashes will bemixed in the ink)
Also I want to get one on the skin between my thumb and pointer finger.
I am going to use my bucks P&Y score but should I use the gross or net?
Thoughts please

I'd use net...that's the one that matters when it's all said and done.

I would definetly go with gross, I don't see the point in subtracting anything from what the deergrewso I never really liked the net score.

I'm also for the gross score, that is what he really scores IMO. Very cool idea for your dad too. I have three outdoor tats, one is a ruffed grouse, one is a brook trout, and the third is a whitetail skull. I moved to IL three years agoand was really missing home in the UP of michigan, and these are the three things I pursued up there, so they kind of symbolize that chapter of my hunting carreer. My next one is a strutting tom turkey, kind of the new chapter here in IL.

id go with gross also. I just got one in honor of my dad to its the browning sybol with his initials underneath it. it turned out really well.

God Bless your Father and I hope you get the tat you want.

That being said, I think the ash idea sounds a bit creepy? [:-]

Also, why would you want a number between thumb and index finger anyway? [&:]

Getting a tattoo in honor of your Father is one of the best reasons to have one , I have one in memorey of my Daughter on my upper left chest to keep her close to my heart.
As for your Fathers ashes , I don't think your going to find a tattoo place that will mix them with the ink , there might be some reason for that but I never heard of it before.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out , you might want to post a picture of it when after you get it done.

I would go with gross as well. I know net is what goes in the book, but I'm concerned with what the deer grew, not what some pencil pusher says he scored.

Il-Cornfed has a point about the ashes. That would wierd me out a little. I do like the idea of honoring your father's memory.

I like the idea of getting one to honor your Dad. i've been thinking about getting one for my Grandfather who passed last August. just haven't figured out what to do yet.

by the way, I'd go with gross.

Germ get the gross score Nets are for fish!!!!!!! Walt
