You guys are correct, the deemed the g2,g3 as acommon base point, which took this almost world record status buck down to a 170 2/8 typical.
There was alot of strange things happening with the panel, that Wayne pulled it. B&C ask to score it properly, because they didn'tbelieve that P&Y had made the correct decision.
I know P&Y can some strange choices.
I have seen the common point that they refer to, and they made the wrong decision. I also know of deer that actually have common bases that they have entered that shouldn't have been.
Unfortunately, the buck gets punished the most, denying it, the recognition that it deserves, not the is/isn't everyone discusses.
