I generally don't name deer before shooting them. I guess I should say the names aren't overly creative. It will be "the big 8," "tall brow buck," "uneven 7," etc. Some get names after being shot. Like the "walkie talkie" buck had his rack broken and the skull healed so the beam came down along the jaw like a headeset microphone. The "Get Some!" buck was thus named because I tried to finish him with a knife and he tried to gore me. I politely reminded him that I still had a gun while yelling "Get some!"
