RE: 4x4 or 8pt
 

8 point in general. and a 4x4 if you want to be specific.

RE: 4x4 or 8pt
 

Here in Nebraska, we call them 4x4's. If we said 8 point, people would think 8 points per side. We hardly ever see that here.

RE: 4x4 or 8pt
 

If you can only count to 4 then it's a 4x4, but the smart guys can count all the way to 8.

RE: 4x4 or 8pt
 

Just to add to the confusion when describing mulies or blacktails eye guards are not added in the count, so a 4x4 blacktail the deer might actuallycarry 10 scoreable points. This is done for the reason that a large number of blacktails and some mulies dont carry eyeguards.
I am sure this was no help in ridding any confusion.

If you don't want to call it an 8 point shouldn't it be called a 4+4.
