Gross or Net?
 

What is your guys take on the scoring of deer? Do you think that the official score should be based on the Net score of the animalor Gross score? In my opinion I think Net is for fishing. If they grow it we should count it. This may sound stupid to some but I just wanted to hear everybodies opinion on this.

Gross is the way to go IMO....... Another new take on scoring would be water displacement. Take the total mass of a rack by water displacement would give you the total bone growth of that deer. Kinda wierd but would be a new spin on things. WCL

I've thought about this too. I think that i would like to see the total gross also.

Definately Gross Score. They should get credit for everything they grow.

Yep. I never understood taking inches AWAY.....It's on top of their head isn't it???

I too go by gross score. When someone says they shot a whatever sized net buck, you can be picturing something completely different that what they actually shot.
