What would you call this?

A deer has 4 tines on one side, and 4 on the other.

RE: What would you call this?

I would call it an 8 point. some in Canada or other in states would call it a 4 point. What if it has 5 on one side and 4 on the other side? I think the best way to count points is to count them all. It will be interesting to know why some would only count one side.

I would call it an 8.

People in my area would call it a 4, but personally I learned how to add way back in elementary school. 4 on one side + 4 on the other = 8 total points.

And still some people would call it a 4 x 4.

I live in SD and most would call it a 4 pointer here, but on all the hunting shows they would refer to it as an 8, just curious how the forum pans out.

It would be called a 4 by 4 or an 8 by most folks I know.. Well, most would call it an 8 but I spent to much time out of the area with people who called them 4 X 4's.
