Good Lord! I may have started another civil war[]
I guess it' s more an east/west thing by the sounds of it. Or could it be the way we were brought up. I was told to call a 4X4 a 4 point. It always sounded small compared to the 8 point (I watched a lot of hunting on tv) the professional hunters shot. So I started calling them by both sides (sounds WAY bigger now)
As for muleys, I was told not to count brow tines in my description...talk about sounding really small! So now I call em' by sides (including brow tines) just cus I like it that way. Any way you look at it, we' re pretty lucky we can do this hunting thing anyway! God bless us all on this anniversary...here' s to good hunting in both our FREE COUNTRIES JDinAB
