Another “ scoring “ controversy via a common base , after what B&C did with the King buck common base ruling , including changing the score process in between when the King buck first showed up as a possible new world record , and when they  scored it lol . 
 

Kinda hard now not to shoot down this young man’s buck . I love the story ,a borrowed Xbow and tree stand , hopped on 30 acres of his sisters sat 11 hours , done !

Yup. Been following it since November. Panel scoring is January.

Somebody is mad about all the food they feed that one and didn't  kill it. Lol

Common bases can be hard to determine sometimes. The way we do it at the NYS Big Buck club is usually by concensus if it is in contention for a top buck that year or all time. No one scorer would be able to make the determination on his own. At first glance this looks like a common base, but I can't see the back side.

Another example of why NET sucks. Should just be total inches gross or weighed on a scale.

Ive heard some people say water displacement is the way to go.

agree, but then it would have to come off the skull? or we count the skull too? and then spread is worthless?

Three valid points. I like gross, add it all up and see what we got.

The 10 point I got this year in Ohio measured 146"

Sometimes I get asked what it scored and was it net or gross, and always say I don't know. I only care about gross and never bother figuring  out net score.

All this back and forth about, well so spread doesn't count?, and why penalize for a extra point or point length not matching the other side?,  is why I've never had any of my bucks measured.  Antlers are dog chews.  It's only revenant to me.  

Do I want to shoot a deer like was posted.. sure, but then again I wouldn't want the BS. Every TD@H throwing out " it was shot over bait, at night, from the road, and with a .22 just isn't worth it IMO.

Always thought water displacement would be a cool way.
