Man ...please do not start giving our deer names ... I think that's so messed up  :twocents: :dunno:

Oh come on!  Have a little fun :chuckle:

We had a buck we chased a number of years we called "Michael Johnson".  Every time we ever saw him he was running like a bat out of heck!  If we saw him today he'd probably be named "Usain Bolt" instead ;)

We also had what we thought was a doe with horns in E. Oregon.  So we called him/her "Dr. Frank N. Furter"  :IBCOOL:

Naming the animals we see on a regular basis keeps clarity when we tell guys in our group what we saw on a given day.  Makes sense to me :dunno:

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified at the start of the thread.  I am not naming this deer to be cute, I am naming him for the purposes of identification when I am hunting/scouting.  I can't even call him "That big 3 point", because of this guy (I named him Tripod, because all 3 of his points are the same length)...

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

"Ubiquitous"

or

"Ubiquitous Tráyas"  - Ubiquitous-meaning Widespread and Tráyas-meaning Three

That's a cool name Rad, but he's not really that wide.  I think maybe 23 inches at the most.  Tripod is actually has a wider spread.

OK, I am putting up a poll.  I took out the suggestions that were to meat, he's not really a "meat buck" (I don't really need names for them), and I don't want to jinx myself by naming him something presumptious like "Dirt Nap" or "Target", because that sounds like I am going to walk out there and execute him on opening day, and we all know that muleys this size disappear as soon as the first shot is fired on opening day.
That leaves us with:

Trifecta
Cletus
10-4
The SH4 Buck
Ol' 3-Wide
Terrence
Ubiquitous Trayas
Sam Crawford
Spork
Y2K

I will have the poll up just as soon as I can figure out how to do one... :tup:

I know what you are saying.  I do some naming as well.  If I was watching that buck I'd call him Turkey Leg.  3 toes and a spur...   :twocents:

Tri-guard?
I mean a mule deer with a split eyeguard deserves a name.  :tup:

Naming deer is fun.  A few years ago I got pics on my trail cam of a buck that looked like he had a narrow escape with a Cougar.  His left antler was badly deformed, and he had a slit in his ear.  I named him "Ol' Slit-ear"  I didn't see him for a couple of years so I thought a hunter got him.  This year I got a few pics of him.  His left antler was almost back to normal, but you could still see the slit in his ear. (Always will).  This year I also got pics of another buck that looks like he had a narrow escape with a cat, but the very tip of his ear is gone, and the left antler is deformed.  Makes me wonder how many deer weren't so lucky!....
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
