When does a elk go from a typical elk to a non typical. It seams that a 5x5 or a 6x6 are your normal typical elk. Do both sides of the rack need to be the same to be typical? Is a 7X7 or a 8X8 considered a typical if both antlers are the same. Or is anything over a 6x6 a non typical.
 
If both sides are symmetrical, with all points coming off the main beam, it doesn't matter how many points, it is typical. It becomes non-typical when points brach, or if there is an abnormal point off a main beam (like a drop tine) in between "normal points". Clear as mud, huh?
 
I think also that the "extra" point or pts. have to equal a certain amount of inches. I think. If I remember, it doesn't take much.
