Brow tines are counted as points

It's the operator that messes up....not the equipment.Have confidence in yourself and shoot straight.

If the tine is broken off but there is still some left, I'd say it's a point. I got an 8-point with a broken tine in 2000. It was broken about half-way up so there was still about 4 inches left. I'd say that's enough for a point.

It is considered a point if it is one inch long or longer.

In Va. we always count anything you can hang a ring from a point, but many states are different in their definition of a "point". My understanding is as long as the browtine meets the definition of a point it is a point.

A brow tine is certainly counted as a point. as far as the broken tine as long as it meets the criteria to be a point than it would still be counted as a point.

Only with mule deer are brow tines not consitered a "point".

With all other deer, B&C and P&Y say if it is an inch it is a point.

It is up to the individual hunter to decide for him or her self what is a trophy or for that matter, a point. But if you want it scored, you have to go by thier rules

Personaly, I go with the ring thing.

"Hey ya'll, watch this"

I'd call a broken tine a point anyday
