Even though I have been avidly hunting for years I never really payed much attention to scoring systems. So I have a simple question that most of you are gonna laugh at but here it goes. What is the difference between net and gross score. I searched the forum to see if I could find a post on this but had no luck. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Sorry if this is a reoccurring post.

Now add up all the measurements (inside spread, both main beam lenghts, tine lengths, and the circumferences) and this is the gross score. To get the final score you must subtract from the gross score the difference between the different measurements. For example if the left beam is 20 inches and the right beam is 18 inches then you must subtract 2 inches from the gross. Do this for the circ. and point length measurments as well. This will give you the buck net score.


Hope this helps

That summed it up pretty much. Just think that if the rack is perfect symetrical, the gross and net score would be the same. differences in each side will have a lower net score. (gross = total, net = total - differences)

hunting net has a good article for scoring.
