Just had one of my racks scored yesterday.I help out with putting up racks and sheds and selling tickets at the Sportsmen and R.V show here in Nova Scotia.Anyway I didn,t bother looking at the score sheet because I thought I had a ten pointer that netted 169 typical.Well on the way home I decided to look at the score sheet and what I saw surprised me.Instead of a ten point he was scored as a typical 8 point because his left G4 was not long enough and his right G4 was a deduction.He grossed 181 typical and with 12 inches of deductions he netted 169 as an 8 pointer.I also won 1st for biggest typical.I still can,t believe it grin.gif

My wife is going to put them up for me when she gets home later today.Will also put a pic of a large 4 point shed that had the G2 cut off for a knife handle and it scored 64 2/8 as a 3 point,6/8 from making our records book.

Re: Big 8 Pointer

I,ll put some numbers down to keep you wondering what he looks like.LOL.Left beam is 26 4/8,right is 27 6/8.Tines range in size from a G4 on the right that is a deduction goes 3 0/8 and the rest of the tines are from 8 1/8 to 10 7/8.H3,s are 9 1/8 right and 6 2/8 for the left.Right side total is 84 6/8 and the left is 75 4/8.Insie goes 20 6/8 and outside goes 23 3/8.It,s 10:45A.M here in Nova Scotia and I should have pix up by 3:00 today.

If it wasn,t for that chipped G4 on the left side he would have netted 171.But an 8 that nets 169 ,I,m not complaning,heck if he would have netted 100,it still would have been great.

Re: Big 8 Pointer

Definite hog there. Congrats.

Was there any discrepancy about whether the right G2 and G3 were from a common base? I've seen times where tines similar to those on your deer have been debated.

It wouldn't matter to me because that is a HUGE set of bone you got there. Are you getting that mounted, that is if you aren't in the process right now?
