My hunting partner spotted it across a canyon in the Bino's, but had already filled his tag. So, I got to shoot. 14 years old and a blacktail probably of a lifetime. I didn't even know what i had gotten into at the time. The realization set in at school, when i was getting congratulated by juniors and seniors that I didn't even think I knew existed. It started to sink about then.

Game dept counts brows and so do I. thats not the way it was when I was a kid but thats the way I do it now.
OK, I guess that answers it. thanx. We didn't used to count them when I was a kid, and I still don't most of the time, but it gets confusing. Most of the younger guys count them.

I just count the main tines and not eye guards or sticker points less than one inch. I see no point in counting every little bump just to up the score. But that's just me.

For the Poll: Are we counting browtines?
its your choice
Post by: Pathfinder101 on March 14, 2009, 08:44:07 AM
Several discussions on here about that Path. I count them with whitetails but not with muledeer or blacktails.
Yeah, I know. I was just wondering about how to vote on the poll...
I usually say " ...was a 4X4 with eyeguards.." or something to that effect.

Spooky?? I think she's pretty. :chuckle:
Thanks, by the way. I was pretty excited about it. I think I was 27-8. I grew up hunting birds and didn't start after big game till mid 20's

My first deer had one antler busted off at the skull and the other side was busted off just above a nice browtine.
Mine did too. Actually it was shot off.

Tradition in deer camp was first one to get a deer bought the first round of drinks..... State law in WI allows minors to drink with parent permission in a bar. I bought the rounds! ;)
