RE: What would you call this?

I described a buck I took a couple years ago this way: He's a main-frame 5x5 with split brow tines, making him a 12-pointer. But that's just so you'd know how his structure looks. If anyone asks how many points he has, I say 12.

I would call it an 8 point. IMHO 4 X 4 and one sided counts are deceiving to the accurate count of points. Use the KISS analogy (keep it simple stupid)!
