In addition, some parts of the country call a 9 point buck a 4x5. There is different lingo no matter where you go -- and it's a lot like common names for plants. A pin oak is some areas is a water oak, but there is actually a pin oak, too. This happens with stuff all the time, but when in Rome do as the Romans do. Of course, maybe us Southerners are just showing off our countin' skills.

How do we know for sure its a total count of all antler points on both sides? Granted it would be beyond comprehension to have 13/17 pts on one side, but you get the idea, right? Being from the south, I know we count all points, but northerners, such as say WA state, count only 1 side. To them an 8 point buck in TX is a 4 pointt in WA. Strange and can't figure out why they are not all the same?

He ended up shooting one and his dad took the other. The green score on the 17 point was 201 gross, 195 net typical. The 13 point buck scored 155 gross, 139 net.
