Title: Scoring deer and elk
Post by: T-ROY on October 21, 2009, 09:03:38 PM

My son found this on the B&C page.  Thought i would pass it on, You all might know it already but it was new to me.    I just might have 150" a whitetail  when you take this into consideration.

  Do elk and deer always get four circumference measurements?
Yes. In the case of an 8-point whitetail, the G-4 is missing. Instead of looking for the smallest location between the G-3 and the G-4, the measurement is taken at the halfway point between the G-3 and the tip of the main beam. Similarly, on a mule deer with no G-3, the H-3 circumference measurement would be taken at a point halfway between where the G-2 measurement begins and the end of the G-2. For deer and elk, no matter how many normal points it has, four circumference measurements will always be taken per side.

Do you have a photo posted?  A 150" WT should be a good looking buck especially if it scores that well after a point deduction?  That circumference (H) measurement explanation is correct.  Four per side.
