Flaws in the P&Y and B&C scoring systems.....
The referenced clubs' scoring systems seem appropriate for 99.9% of all deer killed IMO. However, every once in a while a deer comes along that based on its rack configuration becomes a scoring anomoly and is really given credit where credit is not due IMO.... For instance....The Fulton Buck below.... Killed in my home state and I believe is still the largest gross scoring deer ever killed by a hunter.. If not, its in the top two or three.... This deer officially grosses 312 and nets 295. When you conjure up a 295 class buck in your head, do you see this?

I understand what you are saying, but if you have a system that works well 99.9% of the time you are already way ahead of the game. Every system will have some bias one way or the other. Thats just life.

DC, I see it too and your exactly right, there are MUCH BIGGER deer out there that do not score anywhere near that.
I'd take a record book typical over a nontypical anyday.

I agree that the systems might work 99.9% of the time, but i still think that the 99.9% of the time its flawed. If a deer grows it, it should count- No deductions.

I think it's kinda funny, honestly. Kinda like this guy found a big 'ol tax shelter, huh?
I'm betting the guys shooting the "bigger deer" are pissed, though. I'll give you that.

Schultzy,
Its not the deductions I take issue with, its the fact that a rack like that even remotes approaches the 300 class is a scoring anomaly.

I think they should throw out the existing systems and impliment a new one with 3 catagories.
Big rack = WOW
Great big rack = OMG
Eye popping monster rack = WTF
