B & C Scorer help

LAST EDITED ON Jan-09-12 AT 10:53PM (MST)[p]Anybody out there able to help me with this mule deer rack? Which tine would be considered the G2 the far back tine (far left) or the next one forward that has a fork near the top? The second picture is the other side of the rack if that has any bearing on the decision. Thanks in advance for the help.

Yes, it is the far back tine

far left tine is the one you will take for the measurement the g2..... the split on the g3 is just a extra.... here is a link that might help ya..... http://www.boone-crockett.org/bgRec...=bgRecords&type=Typical+Mule+Deer+&+Blacktail

LAST EDITED ON Jan-11-12 AT 08:37AM (MST)[p]Just score it as a non-typical and dont worry about the net score... besides nets are for fishin!... plus that buck is really not a typical anyway, just get the gross score on it and be happy, youll hate the net score on it if thats what your after no matter what point is claimed to be the g2 and g3 because its not very symetrical and not a typical.

The G2 measurement on the left antler will be deducted from the score because of the "0" measurement on the non-existing G2 on the right side.

This is one of those great bucks that fall through the cracks of the B&C scoring system.

You would probably get a better net if you scored him like a non-typical white tail.

 

[dleonard3]

Non-Typical Muleys are measured exactly the same way as a Typical, except the "extras" are added to the score instead of subtracted. The main 4-point frame still gets deductions for a-symetry.

Stupid, huh?

Not exactly correct......BOTH sides of the antlers have G2......there is, however, no G3 on the right antler. The H3 (circumference) will be taken at the half-way mark on the G2 (right antler).

Yeah unfortunately this buck is like whichever team the Patriots happen to be playing: It doesn't matter what the facts are or how many angles you look at, the calls are still going against you. I agree with others, take the gross score and call it good. Otherwise this buck could end up scoring somewhere in the negatives.

[ELKTAPER]

You will probably get an even better score, if you score him as a Pronghorn. LOL.

Boy some real comedians on here. I am not that concerned about score of anything I shoot as I shot this buck in the early 1990's and have never scored it. I have had some people ask me what it scores and I truly do not know so I am trying to ball park it. With that being said there is about 102 inches of horn on that left side, a 25 inch inside spread, and 40 inches of mass, an impressive buck to say the least. So I will score it like a pronghorn???????????

I am not looking for a net score just wondering where to take the mass measuremants as these are dependent on the configuration of the G2 and G3. Thanks for the assistance from all responders and for BOHNTR)))--> for setting it straight.
