I think you are confusing "gross score" with "green score". The drying period willnot shrink a rack anywhere near that much.
EDIT: sorry I was late on that one.
GregH, you don't subtractabnormal points, youjust don't get to add them. The wholeprocess is to add them, and then subtract them, thus equallingout to a zeroeffect. Yes, it is rediculous. I may have misunderstood what you were saying though.
There was an article from the head of records for P&Y saying that a 200" monster with 8 stickers that nets 170" (I am making up these #'s I don't remember exactly whatmeasurements he used)is "a lesser deer" than a perfectly symmetric 10-point that measures 176" and nets 172". There is something wrong with that IMO.

To make that 125 P&Y minimum, that baby better be scoring 135-140 green.

I gottcha. I was thinking of an extra tine like when scoring a 9-point.
Still, I did not know that "stickers" and such were subtracted from the gross. That really makes no sense at all. I can see not adding them, but having to subtract them? Weird.

But abnormal points are measured and placed in the deduction column (column 4, line E) under differences. They are deducted from the gross score but were never added in the first place. Take a look at a P&Y scoring sheet. This is for typical deer.
OOPS!! I didn't read far enough! [&:]

OK OK get off my back already
LOL. I have only scored bucks for gross scores myself. I have been debating entering a few of my bucks into the P&Y record book, but these scoring rules are just so stupid I don't think I am going to. Plus they are continuing to make horrible comments quite often. Plus it is $25 bucks for nothing. Well, a piece of paper

What horrible comments are they making? I've been out of the loop. (actually, I'm hardly ever in it!)
