Ok, ok, that was funny, but take it easy on my boy. He's cool and we go waaaay back... about a month. LOL!

The fractions in B&C and P&Y Scores are always expressed in 1/8ths.

One divided by two = .50

Four divided by eight = .50

from the Boone and Crocket web site:

All measurements must be made with a 1/4-inch wide flexible steel tape to the nearest one-eighth of an inch. (Note: A flexible steel cable can be used to measure points and main beams only.) Enter fractional figures in eighths, without reduction. For example, if a point measures 7 and 2/8 inches, you would enter 7 2/8 in the space provided.

Yes, technically speaking. However, in the real world most often you don't hear "I got a nice 141 4/8's buck last week." It's more like "I got a nice 141 1/2" buck last week."
