Usually,but not always,it seems that most people that say they dont care about score,are also the ones that like gross scores better.Gross scores are almost always ,if not always higher,curious.
No data here,just going off recollections.

I really only pay attention to gross scores. Like everybody else said, if he grew it, it should be scored. I do think I would rather kill a big typical 170" ten point net score than a 200" non-typical 29 pointer. I don't know why I am like this either.

Deductions are for sissies... Nets are for fish... I am usually interested in the score of a rack, but those deductions take away inches of antler just because of symmetry...
That's what I say!

I killed an 8 pointer. What's that tell you? It could have been a very small basket racked buck with 2" tines or it could have been a 23" wide rack with 10" tines. Both are 8 pointers. Without physically seeing them the B & C scoring system gives you a visualization of what those bucks actually looked like. I like having that capability. As far as net versus gross...if he grew it then score it.

But all that tells you is the volume of bone material.

Ditto that. Although I do alot of horn hunting in Ohio. In Tn I just shoot for age. Unless I want to kill something. And I will be happy with whatever I put my broad head or bullet in
