Until they change there scoring system everything should be net like they have it. Gross doesn't mean a darn thing when it comes to P@Y or B@C. Like it or not thats the way it is and I don't see it changing.

The gross score tells the true size of the buck. The net score is is doubling the smallest measurements of each side then subtracting the abnormal points. You don't get an accurate picture of the bucks true size.
Here's a 115" net buck, 9 points. Sounds like a decent 2 1/2. then when you see it in person and realize that there's 138" of horn on its head and it dressed at 220 lbs and was 5 1/2, then you see that the gross score more accurately describes the deers true size.

RE: Score this deer... Part 1 in a series.
So what would the gross be on that buck in GregH's photo be.....as a non-typical? As a typical?
Greg...you say the buck in your photo has 138" of bone on his head. Is that his "gross"? Only reason I ask is.....why can't the buck in Scott's example get credit for every inch of antler on his "gross"? I honestly don't know.
What's the difference in the "gross" on that buck.....and "gross" on the one in Scott's photos? Why would we not add the abnormal points in Scott's to get it's non-typical "gross"?
Just trying to understand.

You add the abnormal points to the net score of the typical part of the rack to get the non-typical score. I think I explained that right. I don't know why otherwise GMMAT why they do it like they do. Its just the way it is.

If greg's photo has his deer getting credit for every inch of antler on his head.....why can't the one Scott pictured? Why do we have to subtract the abnormal points? Doesn't he get credit for them in his "gross"?
