    Same place you'd get one on a spike.

    With this point configuration, (if no brows are present it is different)

    h1 between burr and first point
    h2 between g1 and g2
    h3 and h4 half the distance from the g2 and the end of the main beam.

    I understand, but I'm speaking of the rack I posted a pic of. It's got browtines (G-1s), so the Hs are between the burr and 1st point, 1st & 2nd point, and the middle of the beam before the tip. That's 3 H measrements, right?

    No. The h3 and h4 are the same measurement. You use the circumference half the distance from the g2 and the end of the main beam for both h3 and h4.

    My last post specifically mentions your racks configuration. I said if no brows are present the technique for measuring the 4 mass measurements are different than for your racks configuration.

    Oh, OK buckeye. Thanks, I see what you mean now. I didn't know that.

    I doubt he'd make it. I've seen only one 6 point that scored over 125 (126 & change net) in several years of hunting and running a check station.

    I passed a buck very similar to this one a half dozen times last year. If I'd have had a spare buck tag I would have culled him though :)

    I come up with 102 without a spread, and he doesn't look very narrow. If he is 18 wide he will gross 120?? Not sure if that qualifies for "not even close"

    "Not even close" means whatever you subjectively want it to.

    I think it's not even close to netting 125". Hence my comment.

    With no more than a couple inches of deducts I still don't see that buck being "not even close" to netting P&Y. To be "Not even close" in my mind I would need to see a buck that scores less than 115". I would really love to know his exact measurements, I wouldn't be one bit suprised if he does hit the 125" mark. But then again what the heck to I know?
