[Rusty]

I might have to lock this thread.  I think you have successfully scared everyone away from the contest.

Yes this.  Number of points (1" or greater) + spread inches + two longest tine (1" or greater) inches

Can be taken with a rigid ruler, just get it close.  Quick and easy.

Thats the key, remember my cold fingers

I think anything growing out of the head has to start with main beam.  A tine can ONLY sprout off a main beam.   Therefore, a typical spike with 10" "beams" and 12" spread would score under this proposed system is 12 for spread, 0 for each tine, and 2 for "points" so it totals 14. 

 

Right, technically correct and I guess it keeps spikes "over-competing" with a main beam measurement.

Get out of porkroll country son...   The air is a lot cleaner up North, and it's much easier to comprehend complex topics such as these....

Just curious, my 17 year old man wants to be in the adult hunting contest this year but, he's not a member on here. Can I still sign him up?

      • Greater than or equal to x.25" rounds up to x.5"

Don't we want to specify "longest tine from each beam" ????

OK I updated it to be left and right beam

Looks good, I think I can handle it

This is so simple.  Deer with most points wins.  If there's a tie then the first one to kill wins.  If there's still a tie then you do rock, paper, scissors.    How hard is that?

So a massive 8 loses to a tiny 9.  Ok sounds fair to me!
