Scoring question
 

I decided to score a few of my racks just for fun. just gross scoring, i dont believe in deductions:biggrin: anyway, i figured out the basic measurements are beam length, inside spread, tine lengths, beam thickness in between tines. my question is , i believe the number of points get added to the total score as well , is this correct ?

if you go to boon an crocket they have a form there you fill out and it gives you your gross and net.

# of points does not become part of the score. Ie: 8 point does not equate to 8 more points being added. On the BC score sheet there is a place where number of points is registered, as well as Greatest spread. Neither is added into scoring.

Thanks , i figured the scores on these racks were a little generous:s2:

Becareful saying that. The IRS might hold it against you.

Choose your animal and print off the sheet. Then score it.

This has always been my beef with B&C scoring. They allow a measurement for air { inside spread } but deduct bone that is present, supposedly to give more value to symmetry.

I agree , i think every inch of antler should count towards your score, not take away from it. I also think the spread is important too but it should be the outside spread at the farthest point.

Attachment 6460Ok these were the scores i got, going clockwise starting w/ the mount. 103" - 85" - 96" - 94" - 104". sound right?

When it comes to trophy deer hunting, size matters!

Deer antler scoring has become the standard for measuring trophy excellence.

Antler scoring offers a consistent way to compare racks for hunters who are competitive.
