Look at this guy, they deducted close to 4 inches off him. You don't find them much more symetrical than this, at least I didn't think so.

I am surpised that there would be 4 inches of deducts...about the only thing I can see is the g2's might be a bit uneven? Great looking buck though none the less.

I can see the desire to want to reward a particularly symmetrical animal.....but to me it's "seemingly" more about NOT recognizing an equally (more?) impressive animal (via deductions).
I realize I'm an outsider looking in.....and my interest in joining this org. is miniscule.....but I'm wondering why they have adopted such a (as far as I can tell) vastly unpopular scoring method???
I'm talking strictly whitetails, here.

The scoring system is flawed. I always want the gross score and not the net.Having a symetrical rack means nothing to most hunters, heck, most guys I know (including myself) like the stickers and non-typical formations in horns. Inside spreadfor example gets credit and this is a measurement credit simply based on the angle the horns are growing out of the deers head.The system needs to be changed but there is so much tradition and history that I doubt it willget changed anytime soon. I've always said that actualdisplacement is the only fair measurement.
