    Correct, if you don't know the correct method of measure then the score will only be an estimate.
    The book will give you a guidance for a better shot at it.
    Good luck, be keen to see how you get on.

    for in House its fine to get the gist of the score, or to score ya own heads - as long as you measure each one the same way

    if the number creeps up into the trophy bracket, then its worth getting someone legit to score it- this also indicates just how far off your scoring method is-- often a few

    the technicalities in some of the douglas score methods can make for grey water to unexperienced an often a couple extra "douglasses" here or there

    yeah righto, certainly is hands on.

    so the other method is alot easier an gives a score to the whole animal is the SCI....... moreso how they score elk in america etc- total inches of tine, plus a spread etc

    just to throw a cat in with the pidgeons as im sure the Douglas is still held in high regard in kiwi
