Well if you used that sort of terminology where I live people would look at you like you like you had a mental problem or something. That jus isn't the way we describe deer here. They might think you shot an elk or something. I'm sure they would get what you were saying, but they would look at you funny I'm sure.

Sort of like saying soda or coke for a carbonated beverage. We call it pop here. I got a lot of weird looks when I moved back from california. I still call it soda most of the time. And when I moved to cali they didn't even know what I meant when I asked for a pop. They would just stare at you for a minute until it sunk in. And I had a roomate from the south when I was in the military and everything was a coke, even if he meant pepsi or rootbear.

People just speak differently in different parts of the nation is all. There really isn't a right or wrong, just different.
