I have a son who wants to learn about hunting...

They are still in the BCS.

Dern Canadians always counting the "green score". (shakin head)

 

[Neil Wig]

Actually, we score them after the 60 day drying time, as required by B&C.

BTW, there may be a new world record whitetail, this time it was taken about 200 miles east of here. Apparently, it's going to be very close, depending on shrinkage during the required drying time.

So, that three pointer, is that two on the head, plus one below?

If yer counting that way he was a 4 pointer

 

[Jaybird]

I thought B&C was 180 days. (shrug)

From the B&C web page:

What is the drying time for antlers and skulls before they can be officially measured?
Official entries must air dry at room temperature sixty days from the day after the trophy was taken.

I did'nt read this whole thread,so I'm not sure if this has been brought up before, but anybody considering a .410 should look at the price of shells first. I have a Thompson Contender W/ a .410, 45 colt barrel that I like to shoot but I can't find .410 shells (3") for less than 8-9 bucks a box. (I don't shoot enough to justify reloading)
