Outdoors ping

Methinks 3 prongs on EACH side is a 6 point buck, not a 3 point buck. LOL

Just wait. Obama & Feinstein will be calling for a hammer ban next.

Alexis did a great job, God bless her.

In the western states, points on mule deer and all other deer are counted on only one antler and the eyeguards are not counted, unlike the eastern states.

Out West we just count the points on one side.

Don’t forget PETA! I’m sure they will be demanding prosecution for animal abuse.

Many areas of the country would call that a 3-by....

Around my neck of the woods...it would be a 6 point. But I'm in WT country...

Many folks call elk and mule deer...5x5's 6x6's...etc. Instead of total points...FWIW-

Eastern count is six point. Western count is three point.

Out in the Rockies they only describe a buck deer or a bull elk by the points on one of its antlers. Why? I have no idea. I’ve always just accepted it. Although I have taken the liberty of describing a buck or a bull, even out there, by how many points are on each side, e,g., a 4 X 4 mule deer or a 6 X 6 bull elk, for instance. FWIW.
