Gross is without deductions, net is with deductions..

Nets are for fish IMO. The gross score is what I care about. If he grew it, he gets credit for in my mind...

Deductions? You mean the deer get more deductions than I do - geesh - no really...deductions for what?
like if the spred isnt over a certain width and such?

Net score is all about being symmetrical. For instance, if the right g-1 is 5 inches and the left is 3.5 inches there will be 1.5 inch deduction for the difference. This is done for every length and circumference measurement. Look at Jesse's link for the official score sheet. You'll see what I'm reffering to.

well that's about as BS as the math quiz I just took. How can you subtract something that is actually there...sounds like politics and maybe that's why I stayed away from it so long , :smiley_arrogant: and how on earth is anything in nature symmetrical...EVER?

only score I care about is the points for the deer hunting competition. It's easier than the "official" scoring anyway.
