That's why I like what the Northeast Big Buck Club does. Official entries are based on gross score.

That's what I've always said. I will do a net score as well, but I'm more interested on how many inches total he has on his head.

What county do you hunt in southern Illinois?

Yup. It's always been a pet peeve of mine that bone gets deducted when it doesn't match up side to side, yet they include air{ width } in the actual score.
