lol...I thought you saw an 18 pointer.

I think my friends think I'm nuts when we talk points. I'm originally from California, and I was raised to count only what's on the main beam of ONE side, not both sides, and not brow tines. So, the first year I hunted here, a guy told me he bagged a 6 pointer and a few minutes later an 8 pointer walked by. WOW! I thought. There are some big deer here. I looked in the bed of his truck and see a forkey. HUH? I thought he said 6 points. I scratch my head and kinda look at him funny. I look back at the deer....and the wheels slowly start to turn....OHhhhhhh...I got it! You all count ALL of the points INCLUDING brow tines!

To this day, when I see a deer I still go by one side, no brow tines.

The other day, Buddy Bill and I saw a deer running across a field. "Did you see that?" He asked.
"Yeah, it looked like a 3 or 4 pointer."
"Then, you didn't see the same deer I saw."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you guys count ALL the tines...I mean an 8 or 10 pointer."
lol....he thought I was nuts....still does.
