Why?
« on: November 10, 2015, 06:58:09 pm »
Why is it that out west we score deer as a 4 point, or a 4X5, where as  the midwest, east and south count all the points? I have wondered this for quite some time.

So it sounds like it's bigger. Which sounds better "I just shot a massive 12 pointer" or " hey I just shoot a huge 6 pointer"! You decide.

That makes sense.  Joe have you ever seen the over-sized rats they call deer in Texas?  Compared to the mule deer in Utah, they look like a dwarf species. Mangy too. You need to do everything you can to make them sound bigger (no offense Texas) O:)

Most of the deer down here don't have enough horn to just count one side.

I go with the rule of, if it doesn't have a car in it, it is a creek.

Gully here as well. Utah does have a very interesting way of speech. The long time locals are quite interesting to listen to. Carn (corn), Harses (Horses), Mounun (Mountain). The last actually has a youtube video about it.

A holler is much bigger than gully. A gully is a small cut out where a small creek or branch is. I know what a coozy is but not a coulie. I coozy keeps your canned beverage insulated.

Now that that is settled.... They just count one side at a time out west because they only have five fingers on one hand and they need other hand to point at which finger they are counting. Here in the South we have whats known as southern hospitality. We get a buddy to let us borrow his other hand so we can count all the points at once. Up north they have higher edumacation so they count em all to look smart.

But seriously, are you not supposed to count the eye guards on a mule deer?
