Default Contest question on scoring

Whitetail (as norm):125/125 = score x 1
Columbia blacktail: 125/90 = score x 1.39
Sitka blacktail: 125/75 = score x 1.67
Mule deer: 125/145 = score x 0.86
Explain the numbers for scoring? I know some of the numbers are minimums for P&Y but the others I'd like to know more about.

Thanks in advance.

Since the average Sitka and Blacktail are smaller than a Whitetail you get to multiply the final score by 1.39 and 1.67. And since the average Mule deer is larger than a whitetail you have to multiply by 0.86. It's designed to even out the playing field so to speak. Kinda like a handicap in golf.

I figured that John. Thank you sir! The one that threw me off was the mule deer but I didn't notice it was under 1. My bad!!! Thanks for the help guys.
