That’s one big two point (net typical)

By the time you deduct an ll the miss matched points this is a two point with stickers

Cool looking buck.

That's not a 2 point any way you look at it but that's my opinion. I've shot smaller.

How many points would YOU burn on this deer????

He has a g3 on one side but not the other
His g4 one one side but the other side it might not make a inch
So you would loose them in a net score
So g1 and g2 are the only storable point
The other is main beam
The cheater points are scored for nt

The point that is the end of the main beam is the main beam not a g-point

I never understood why guys don't count the brows and some get very offended when ya do.
Must be a utah thing, but back east they call it a 11 pointer.

But any how still a pretty buck. 6x5 by my standards if I counted right

I would definitely call that a 6x5

A forky with eye guards isn't a 3x.

Agreed, it’s be a forky with eye guards and I would call this buck a 5x6 and would shoot him with as many points as it takes because I only hunt Nevada and I’m not saving points for a trophy I just want to hunt as often as possible

As a non typical as a typical it looses anything that doesn’t match on the other side

Even a whitetail you should not count the main beam as a point

No no no. You measure the main beam then also add it as the 5th point. That way you get a bigger score and bigger bragging rights. ????????.

Why in the world would anyone want to ever field judge a buck like that as a typical. It's meaningless and seems like being concerned about a net score on a buck like that is way over thinking things. Good discussion though.

Just pointing out that scoring a buck doesn’t do the buck justice
I’d shoot it and be dang proud of him

How's this for a big 2 point, I found this years ago in utah.

You're absolutely right, that's why everyone I know never uses a net score when talking about what a buck scores. The only time a net score should be talked about is if the buck makes the record book with it's net score.

I tried to get my son to shoot a buck similar to that one on the second to last day of his Colorado hunt, but he wouldn't do it.
He ended up killing a toad on the last day so I'm glad he didn't listen to me.
Cool buck though.
