Do you call this a 4x5 or a 5x6? (eye guards and antler points)

Hang a ring on it? Was that ever a real thing with the state of Washington? If it’s an inch I count it as a point.

Its just how we counted points back in the day, if you couldn't hang a ring on it, it wasn't counted and we never counted eye guards , with point restrictions nowadays , do not go by that logic, I repeat, DO NOT GO BY THAT LOGIC.

Of coarse you count eye guards, "what do you call a spike, a no point?" Quote from a B&C scorer.

We need field pics to really make a correct judgment!!

Count them all, I never understood why eye guards wouldn't count for deer but they do count for elk.  Not having grown up hunting I don't have any historical precedence to worry about.

4X5. Unless your a Hill-Billy from the south and want to call it a 9 point!  Great buck by the way!!!

Only count one side.  A 4x4 is just a 4 point.  If uneven, it's a 4x5, 4x6, etc.
Mule deer = don't count eye guards as points
Blacktail = don't count eyeguards
Whitetail = count eyeguards over 1"
Elk = count eyeguards, unless you're from Pe Ell

Where I hunt elk we don't count eye guards on them either.

Why do we have to all be Hill-Billie's?

I have a 4x5 and sometimes say it’s a 4x4 with a kicker.

Is it yours? If so, call it whichever you want. Nice rack. Got any picks of him on the ground?
