But I'll tell you what i will do. I'll answer the question on a typical 8 and a non-typical 10. Now folks, I have been up since 11 last night and I am not going to goback and correct typos.
First understand the terminology. Typical has two different meanings. It has a biological meaning and it has a meaning for scoring purposes. One supposes the average achievement. The other supposes symetry between antler sides.
Okay. In English. For record purposes, typical is the difference between one antler and another and odd points. That's fine. It is also totally different from biological typical.
Until we started messing with nutrition, a typical, mature, whitetail buck had eight points. Therefore, a ten point, regardless of symetry, was, in biological terms, a non-typical.
You see, it is a matter of context. When P&Y and B&C decided to set standards, they made them up. They measured against perfection-a really stupid thing to do. That is where the term "Typical" came from. But biologically, a typical whitetail buck, at maturity, without protection has eight points. Why without protection? Because until less than two decades ago, they had no protection. For that reason, very few reached 10 points. Why do I say typical? Because that was the standard. We did not use record book terminology. We used biological data. Crazy concept, huh?
Now that isn't theory. Then came QDM and TDM and the term typical changed in biological terms...not record keeping terms. Bucks were protected. Some of them...not all, became 10-point bucks that by recrod keeping organizations were typical.
So today, if you kill a buck with 10 points on each side that match perfectly, it would be a typical...right? Wrong. It would be an exception.

I only have page three.
But I do have a question for Alabama Swamper. Are you saying the deer in the first picture is the same deer in the second picture one year later?
