Is that a 3 point with doubles in your avatar pic?


What do you say if it's a 4x5 or something like that? A 3 point with a single on the left by a 3 point with doubles on the right?
Seems overly complicated to me.

Comparing little stickery mule deer eyeguards to big swooping browtines on an elk is a bit of a stretch.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Nope. The bull in my avatar is a 4 point or four point with doubles (6x6). If it's a 5x6 then its a 3x4. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it's just how I was brought up as well as most of the folks I know...

Not complicated at all :o   

I saw a dandy 4x4 with doubles on the left and single on the right and +.5 on the right with a droptine (only 50% of a tine because it points downward)

You Simpletons might refer to it as a 6x6   :chuckle:

Ya sorry... Wasn't joking at all, not saying its right either, but just the way everybody communicated when talking about bulls when I was growing up.  I never count small kickers or what we call cheater points on bulls either.... Just mainly by frame when referencing... So if I see a 2pt with double eye guards with a crab claw or a couple cheater points, its a 2 pt bull with some funky stuff at top to be a 5 by 6 or what have you, ordinarily to make it sound like you killed a good bull  :chuckle:

Put my bull in my avatar for an example:  I would call that a nice coastie Roosevelt bull..... If I was radioing somebody in our group, I would say it was a 4pt with doubles.  Its funny because all of my friends growing up would laugh at people who would call that bull a 6x6... To eat your own, just a tradition thing.

Yup...I understand. I grew up on the east side of the country where our whitetails were all named by the total points, in other words a 4x4 would be an 8 pointer or an 8 point.

I'll agree on "cheat points" as you say.

I think most people agree that little kickers aren't referred to in a 5x5 or a 3 pt with doubles, four point with singles etc. 

I could really care less how people count points as long as they don't say 10 pt. 

I DO find it humorous to say 3 point with doubles.  Know why?  Cause that's how I was raised  :chuckle:

I always thought cheaters were on mule deer to get extra width. Stickers I'd refer to what you guys are calling cheaters...

Actually, real hunters only count pedicles.  So I've never shot anything but 1x1s with "cheat points"
