Tradition, heritage, personal choice, whatever you want to call it.   For legal reasons sure count it.   Mule deer camp, get laughed off the mountain.   If you want to be taken seriously, call a four point a four point, if it's a four point with eye guards call it that.  If it's a three point with eye guards, it's not a four point.  Quit trying to make your buck sound bigger. 
Much like finding a d cup stuffed with tissue.
Most of the time this has nothing to do with elk or whitetail.  That's a different campfire. 

Basically it can't be explained any further here, because we aren't allowed to use insults, explicitives, or really even be a manly here.  The same pc world that won't let a person speak his mind on here, is the same pc world trying to count all the points on a mule deer.
:yeah:
I'm not a "count every point" guy.  I have a 150+ whitetail with 14 score able points but I still call it a 4 point with junk.

it's funny to see the look on a persons face when you tell them you killed a two pt bull :yike:. that's when you see if they start adding points up in their head. Oh yeah forgot to mention, it was forked above doubles.   :)

Looks like that buck is due a refund on whatever he paid for those "eye guards."  The right one certainly didn't appear to do him much good. 

Teasing aside, that is one beautiful buck, I bet she is proud of that mount.

Yep here's my 4x4 ground those stupid eye guards smooth so it would be just under 150.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

This one I left them on when I was younger not knowing they didn't count around the camp fire. It grossed 162 but after deductions was just under 160 so the eye guards didn't help anyway.

Born out of description.  Grant county buck as the example.

You paint the picture in your mind.

16 point buck.  Now is that 16 points total or on one side, and are their tines everywhere , like a true non typical giant or do you come up with the correct picture in your mind of the deer.

Or....

4 x5 with gnarly eye guards with tons of moss or trash around the bases.


be honest.

4X5 w/16 scoreable inches of gnarly eye guards works for me.  I don't see any claim of sixteen points being made.

 :yeah:

If someone describes a buck in either the sum total of points, or counts the eyeguards as a point, it buggs the heck out of me for some reason...

__x__ with or without eyeguards is how we describe our bucks

I am with Bone, 4x5 with gnarly eye guards.  I always describe mine as 4x4 with eyeguards or 4x4 with no eyeguards.

FYI the 4x4 with no eyeguards above was smooth when I shot him, I didn't grind them off and they weren't broke off.  He was a younger deer and I am not sure he was ever going to grow them.  I am sure he would have been a real stud the following year but with a bow I just couldn't pass him up.

Ya, I agree.  I would call the buck a 4X5 with gnarly eye guards and lots of trash.  My other daughter shot a 183 typical nice Grant Co buck in 2010 with a sticker on the left side.  I would call that buck a nice 4X4 with eye guards and a sticker to boot.

You are all over it JD.   There are folks here hanging a ring on it.   Can't you imagine someone calling that a 16 pointer.
