5X5 or 10pt
 

Kind of a dumb question but I was just curious as to why in diffrent parts of the country people will call a rack diffrently. It has been my experience in the west that a rack is called by the number of points on each side 4X5, etc. Whereas in other parts it is called by the total number of points, 9pt. Does anyone know why?

What do you guys from the east call a 6x6 bull elk?
A 6 pt or a 12 pt?
How about a 4 pt muley with brow tines?
A 4 pt, a 5 pt, a 10 pt?

Them Eastern like to make it sound big by saying &quot; I shot me a 9 pointer&quot;. Don't believe me what sounds bigger 4 x 5 or 9 pointer, I rest my case!

Actually I asked the very same question a month or so ago on the deer forum. The response I got was; easterns call every point over 1&quot; a point and total it. While Westerns call it right side and left side, some count the brows (eye gaurds) others don't. I guess my answer was, who knows why, it just is what it is!!!!!

Trapperjohn, we just get tired counting past 6 or 7. When I talk to my friends back east I always call it a 4x4 or 5x5 or ect. That way they know what I am talking about. The local boys here, I would call it a 4 pointer or a 5. I would not call a 4x4, a 8 pointer. When you are in Rome, you do as the Romans. Good luck this season, Bobby
