Tominator Posted January 21, 2005 Report Share Posted January 21, 2005 Re: non typical or typical I've always thought of it thusly (and I'm not saying I'm right, it's just the way I've always perceived it): a whitetail "typically" grows a main beam that goes back towards the back of the skull, then will curve and go out towards the front of the nose, and will "typically" have points that rise off that main beam. Anything, like a "sticker," "drop tine," unusal palmation, or anything abnormal like that would be "non-typical." If a deer has enough of these abnormal things growing out of his head, then the deer could be scored as non-typical. One deer head can be scored both ways. I have a friend that shot a 14 point non-typical deer back in 1998. The deer had about 10" of non-typical points so that deer has a typical score of about 135, and a non-typical score of almost 150. He had the choice of entering into Pope and Young either way as a typical, or non-typ--He chose non-typical. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Close. A Non-Typical's score is actually derived from first scoring the Typical main frame, deducting the side to side differences, then adding in the abnormals. A deer with no true main frame would be difficult, if not impossible to score. This is why "Cactus Bucks" are seldom seen in the record books.
