OK, we'll make it easy.  Weight +antler score+2x age.  10 bonus points for public land, 10 bonus points for longbow/recurve, -10 points for compound/crossbow, -20 points for shotgun, +20 points for hunter over 55 years of age, +20 points if you have to measure at night and with cold fingers.

Dude I only have BS degree, I could not do it!!!

Also simple and fun. 

Spread + number of points means nothing. If we vote at the end we will be closer to reality IMO

and put a lot more emphasis on taking GREAT pictures...     Straight arm and all

Maybe someone with good computer skills could take the best deer from 2018, make up a thread and let the members vote on the winner?!  See how it works.

But I still think this type of contest should be in addition, not in place of a P&Y scoring contest as proposed by the OP. (owner).

that's not a bad idea, or we can just use the time-tested, well regarded method of scoring a rack (and we have a member who is an official scorer we could consult)

I elect Jack for the job. Can we please have your cell number to make this happen

don’t worry, members are mostly from north jersey. You may have to take only a dozen or so trips to see us in pork roll country

I use this and it is stupid easy to score your deer. Just saying for ppl complaining about taking a tape measure, taking pics, entering into a calculator etc etc etc

I understand that there should be changes but, let's keep it simple. I'll leave it up to the smarter people to figure it out.
