another big 4x4
« on: August 05, 2011, 10:07:49 PM »
Thought I would keep these to myself but the similarities of matts buck are cool , so even though these are last years pics I will still share. Got pics of this big guy breeding a does also. Fortunately he winters near my stands. Haven't pinned down his core summer area. He's one of those big woods buck that covers alot of ground :) ;)

Looks like a "big three" to me. But, probably just me. Very nice buck though, regardless of how one labels it.

I hate to tell you guys this but here in washington we call those bucks 3X3's. Just because the game dept. calls them 4x4's it's not. 4X4 is 4 points on the main beam. :chuckle:

I am pretty sure all tines (including eye guards) grow off the mainbeam...so if that is the WA standard he would still be called a 4x4.  :chuckle:

There is nothing I love more than a group of guys who don't want to count eyeguards... And yet everyone still counts them toward their score.. Haha
I can't wait till I hear of of these guys say they shot a "3 point" in 117 lol

Looks like there are plenty of guys here in Washington who call a 4 point what he is.
I have a few pics of a big one from last year I will see if I can dig up and post. Might be on Tue hard drive from my old water logged laptop... need to have them recovered.

That cracks me up... That's a 4x4 not a 3x3... as u can see it has points longer than 1" so. The next time u shoot a Whitey that has 7" brows make sure u deduct 14" from the score

I'm even weirder, I don't count them for muledeer, but do count them for whitetails.   No real sound reasoning to defend what I do for whitetails either, but I know some that have eyeguards bigger than the rest of their points. :dunno:

How I count mule deer.... I think mule deer guys count whiteys that way cause they count muleys That way. Mule deer generally have none to very small brows unlike whitetail they almost always have brows and a huge part of their score.

Shot my first deer at age 14 in 121, 32 years ago. My family settled in the Bluecreek area north of Chewelah in the 1800's. And that's the way you count them. Great, great grandpa to my great grandpa to my grandpa to my Dad to me and to my kids. You count the points on the main beams. NOT THE EYE GUARDS. It's funny that all the people who hunted with called it that way. And yes, as far as score, all points. Back East all points. But not here in Washington. :tup:

Must have been a Stevens County thing. I know my Uncles who were born and raised in Valley just off Bulldog called it that way. My Dad's sister married a Spokane man and he called it that way. BTW, those are some nice 4x4's in those last pictures.
