nicer buck T&S congrats

 

Great buck!

 

That is a good one. I haven't seen one like that lately.

 

couple of our bucks T&S

 

I guess I cannot deny----Everything is bigger in Texas!!

 

That's for sure! Looks like I need to start feeding them better.

 

This is something I've always been amazed with, I've always hunted Mulies never White Tails. My question is, point count. How come WT hunters always refer to point count as the total of both sides, when all the hunters I've been around it's a 4 point, 4 on each side is a 4 point not a 8 point. Is it a western thing? This might stir something up, Whats your take?

 

You got it bro. Out west, for deer, it's usually the highest point count. Example: a 4/3 is a "4 point". And, the eye guards aren't counted.:glee::encouragement:

 

Yeap, it's an east/west thing. I prefer the total point count.......what if you shot a buck that had 3 on one side but 4 on the other? We'd call that a 7 point....what would you guys consider it?

 

That would be a 4 point, assuming you aren't counting the eye guards in the 7 points. Elk are a different story. Most folks I know call an elk with 6 points on one side and five on the other, a 6/5.:glee::encouragement:

 

I know hunters who take both mule deer and white tails and refer to the point count differently for each.

 

Yeah, elk are the exception for me. I still refer to them as a 5 by 5 or 6 by 5, etc......

 

Never have understood western thinking, how can a deer with 10 points be a 5 point. If it were to ram you it would make 10 holes.

 

Out west, we try to get out of the way, so only end up with half the holes as the easterners.:glee::encouragement:

 

That's some funny stuff. I guess you westerners are faster than us eastern guys.layful:

 

Nah, were not faster, but it's illegal to bait deer here, so we're not stuck in those blinds next to the food plots when the deer charge, so we have more room to maneuver.:glee::encouragement:

 

What is really funny is that the trailcam is on my neighbors farm. He feeds them I shoot um.

 

Ha, you can't beat that deal !

Sounds like my neighbor and I. He's got a chicken that regularly comes into my shed and lay eggs. I felt kinda guilty about it and offered to give the eggs back to him......as soon as he starts coming over to clean the chicken poop out of my shed layful: . It's worth the hassle to me.......I've got fresh eggs daily and haven't had to buy them in months.

 

Dang! I need new neighbors.:glee::encouragement:
