Not to start an argument and hate to hijack, but ALL deer get four H measurements for circum. For example, a 6 pt only has 3 places for circum measurement. However, you just use the H3 measurement taken between the G2 and tip of the beam twice thus getting 4 measurements. On a spike if I remember correctly, you would measure the circum half way up the beam and multiply by 4 to get 4 measurements. Search for it and look it up. See below some info from the B&C Frequently asked questions. All deer get 4 measurements.
DO ELK AND DEER ALWAYS GET FOUR CIRCUMFERENCE MEASUREMENTS? WHAT ABOUT EIGHT-POINTERS? WHAT ABOUT TWELVE-POINTERS?
Yes, elk and deer trophies ALWAYS get four circumferences. In the case of an eight-point whitetail, the G-4 is missing. Instead of looking for the smallest location between the G-3 and the G-4, the measurement is taken at the halfway point between the G-3 and the tip of the main beam. Similarly, on a mule deer with no G-3, the H-3 circumference measurement would be taken at a point halfway between where the G-2 measurement begins and the end of the G-2. For deer and elk, no matter how many normal points it has, four circumferences per side will always be the exact number of circumference measurements.
