How do you go about scoring a deer that has a broken off tine? Ex: Say a symmetrical 10 pt has one browtine broken off. Do you score the point as 0, or start with the "G2" and act as if he only has 4 points on that side?
This is what B&C says! If a tine is broken so that its far point is not on the line of measurement, it should be carded off. A valid tine must be at least 1 inch long, and no wider than its length. A typical tine is one that grows in the typical location and manner C-l. Between the burr and T-1. Measure the circumference of the main antler beam at the smallest place between the burr and the typical brow tine, or "eyeguard" (T-1). If T-l is absent, measure at the smallest place between the burr and the second typical tine (T-2), which will make this measurement the same as C-2. C-2. Between T-1 and T-2. Measure the circumference of the main antler beam at the smallest place between the typical brow tine (T-1) and second typical tine (T-2). If T-l is absent, measure at the smallest place between the burr and T-2, which will make this measurement the same as C-l.
