B&C says measure tip to tip on main beams. I'm sure I did everything wrong though so no telling what it actually is. I did round down to the nearest 1/4 inch just so it wouldn't inflate numbers

I was just messing with you. Although tip to tip doesn't count in the score, if you were submitting it to B&C you are required to send tip to tip measurement to make sure all the measurements make sense, or something like that.

Nevertheless, fine deer you killed sir. You should be proud of him. I would be.

I agree with trying not to inflate numbers. I killed a really big deer a couple weeks ago and the only thing I personally measured was inside spread. A friend and my dad measure the rest and came up with almost the same number two times. It didn't really matter to me, and I didn't want to tell people that big number and have anyone speculate I may have been dishonest.

Any time you say 06, 30-06, or aught six you gotta spit.

they have a place for it on the form but it doesn't count towards the score of the deer

at least according to the scorer in the office next to me
