Them Eastern like to make it sound big by saying " I shot me a 9 pointer". Don't believe me what sounds bigger 4 x 5 or 9 pointer, I rest my case!

Actually I asked the very same question a month or so ago on the deer forum. The response I got was; easterns call every point over 1" a point and total it. While Westerns call it right side and left side, some count the brows (eye gaurds) others don't. I guess my answer was, who knows why, it just is what it is!!!!!
