RE: NEW #2 TYPICAL ALL-TIME
After reading a few articles about the deer, it seems that it is the "2nd largest deer still with velvet in the world" the key word being velvet which makes its a rare deer. I don't know howthis 19 point deer could be scored as typical and still score 210. It has a bunch of abnormal points and the 5 x 5 framelooks to have quite a bit of symmetrical deductions. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.

RE: NEW #2 TYPICAL ALL-TIME
I think alot of people aren't really clear about what makes a non-typical score as a non-typ. Stickers, kickers and a drop tine or un-matching point does NOT make a deer non-typical. By that definition anything but an even numbered point buck would be a non-typ (like say a 9 or 11 ptr). The deer in the pics IS a trophy of a lifetime and with the velvet it truely is a unique rack. But I seriously doubt it would score anywhere near the #2 mark (yes P&Y does NOT allow velvet covered animals to be entered) the 210 sounds about like a gross score. The animal would probably net out typical around the 180s.
AWESOME animal none the less,

RE: NEW #2 TYPICAL ALL-TIME
Am I missing something? The article said shot in December but the deer is still in velvet.
I think you can score a deer either way. If it scores higher as a non-typical, people usually score it that way. If it still makes book after subtracting abnormals, people will likely score it as a typical.
