I realize the difference too and notice it when people say it wrong, but it doesn' t bother me.

Maybe we need to change the term " forkhorn."

you are correct

What get' s me is when non hunters ask if I CAUGHT anything, NO! you don' t catch deer , You catch fish!

Rack-attack i though antlers were bone? I thought i heard someone say it was like the fastest growing bone or sumthing.

Ya your right, anything that sheds it' s headgear and has velvet wears antlers. Elk, Moose, Caribou, Whitetail.....ect.

potAto....potato

I hope to see lots of horns in a couple months when I' m out trying to catch a big one.

Why don' t we call them racks......did you see the rack on that one?

Anlers are true bone, composed of calcium and phosphorus. But, unlike most mammal bones, they are solid and without marrow. Both horns and antlers are actually extended growths of the frontal skull plate. Horns have a porous core and the outer surface is composed of keratin, the same substance as fingernails.

I call them horns on occasion. Its just slang.
