Tracker0721:
YOU KILLED BAMBI?!?! Haha just kidding. I always go off of field dressed weight. Got a picture of that buck and rack?

jayman448:
yea i do. i posted it here quite a while ago

jayman448:
although dressed weight wont really answer my question... what are average scores and such? ive never scored before and hive virtually no idea what it means

Eric Krewson:
It is all total inches at various measurement points on the rack, less deductions for the lack of symmetry from one antler side to the other.

The scoring system is just a way to consistently compare inches from deer to deer to see where they stand in relation to deer killed in the past.

There are record books kept that you can enter your deer's score in,  The Pope and Young club book for archery and Boone  and Crockett club for rifle kills. Each has a minimum score for entry.

I could be wrong but I think the minimum for archery is 125 inches and 165 inches for guns.
