How to Score Your WhitetailThere are several ways of scoring a Whitetail's rack. But by far the most widely recognized and used is the Boone and Crockett method. Whitetail's taken with archery equipment are scored by Pope and Young. Either case the same scoring system is used. There are two categories Typical and Non-typical. Listed below are the minimum scores to be recognized by these clubs for the all-time book. Boone and Crockett Club which has typical minimum score of 170 and a non-typical minimum score of 195. Pope and Young Club typical minimum score of 125 non-typical minimum score of 155. NOTE: Typical and Non-Typical are measured exactly the same way except Typical you subtract for abnormal points and Non-Typical you add abnormal points. These score sheets are not exactly like Boone and Crockett but they will give you the correct B&C score. Line A = Points per antler, left and right. Line B=Tip to Tip spread. Line C = Greatest spread.These 3 lines do not add into score. You can find more detailed information and official scoring sheets at Boone Crockett PDF Score Sheet Pope Young PDF Score Sheet White-tailed deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents, some of which are so potent they can be detected by the human nose. Four major glands are the pre-orbital, forehead, tarsal, and metatarsal glands. It was originally thought that secretions from the pre-orbital glands (in front of the eye) were rubbed on tree branches; recent research suggests this is not so. It has been found that scent from the forehead or sudoriferous glands (found on the head, between the antlers and eyes) is used to deposit scent on branches that overhang "scrapes" (areas scraped by the deer's front hooves prior to rub-urination). The tarsal glands are found on the upper inside of the hock (middle joint) on each hind leg. Scent is deposited from these glands when deer walk through and rub against vegetation. These scrapes are used by bucks as a sort of "sign-post" by which bucks know which other bucks are in the area, and to let does know that a buck is regularly passing through the area—for breeding purposes. The scent from the metatarsal glands, found on the outside of each hind leg, between the ankle and hooves, may be used as an alarm scent.
