HOW TO SCORE A WHITETAIL DEER | BOONE AND CROCKETT SYSTEM 

Thanks! Very helpful

So, if a whitetail rack has G-1s (brow tines), G-2s, G-3s and the tips of the main beams is that considered a six or an eight point as far as official scoring is concerned? The reason I ask is that, using the scoring spread sheet from B&C, I wasn't sure if I should be including an H-4 circumferential measurement. The problem with getting an H-4 measurement is that technically there is no 4th (G-4) point on a typical eight point since the 4th point is the end of the main beam so you can't really measure a minimum circumference (H-4) between what most people would call the 3rd and 4th points and it doesn't seem to matter how many points per side you input since the number of points is not included in the total score anyway. What was confusing me is that when my taxidermist did a rough green measurement he came up with a gross score almost 7" higher than my score when I didn't include a value for H-4. There should not be that large of a difference even after the 60 day drying period. However, I found a few other videos that stated that the H-4 circumferential measurement on a typical eight point rack is taken midway between the outer edge of the G-3 point and the tip of the main beam. After adding that H-4 measurement for each side our gross scores are only 3/8 of an inch apart. There is no mention of where to take that measurement on the B&C spreadsheet when there are no G-4 points which is the case on a typical eight point rack. I suppose B&C ignores that issue since their minimum score for acceptance is 160" net for a typical whitetail rack and that is a pretty lofty number for a rack with "only" eight points. I scored mine at 125-3/8" net which should meet the minimum requirement of 115-0/8" for the Pennsylvania Game Commission"s Big Game Records Book for the typical whitetail archery category. It would just barely squeak by for P&Y if not for the fact that it was a crossbow kill which they do not consider as archery equipment, unlike the PGC. Here is a link to the B&C scoring spreadsheet: www.boone-crockett.org/scorechart/1207686

Not a bad video, does the total score refer to inches of rack?

Hey guys Im just started to do hunting in the fall I have my hunter safety test in KS what do I do

I have to watch this for my fucking conversation of wildlife class, so yay :( (Thanks for your help)

How do you do the math? everything is in 1/8 of a inch do you say G1 4,1/4" or 4.250 or 4.and 2 8ths G2 8.3/4 or 8 and 6 8ths or 8.750 they do not explain if your using just 1/8 or thousands of inch for the math 3/4 times 2 is 1-1/2

hey would you be able to email me that word doc please I cant seem to find the scoring sheet on pope and young
