Ralph, a non-typical set of antlers, like a typical set of antlers, is still based off of a symmetrical frame. In short, the difference between the G1, G2, etc. and the H1, H2, etc. on each antler is still measured. That is why both types have gross and net scores. The difference is that all the abnormal points are subtracted from a typical bucks score and all the abnormal points are added to a non-typical bucks gross and net score. A symmetrical frame is important to both types of bucks.

How can there be a “net” score for a non-typical scored rack?

I’m a kid but love to hunt and I would really like to kill a deer that size and that heavy! Wow!

Typical bucks have relatively symmetrical racks. Since the buck you shot has 1 point on one side and 4 on the other, it is definitely not typical and would be classified as a non-typical.
