TODAY'S GUN TIME

Always wondered that myself. Do we round up or down?

Round up, same as fishing.

But here in MN, they count both sides. When in MN, do as the MNs do.

Just curious....so on the left coast, what would it be a 3 pointer or a 4 pointer or perhaps a 3.5 pointer? Are the atypicals only counted on one side?

That's not a game animal on the West Coast. This is. In conversation, it would be a six pointer with a broken tine on the right, overall a nice rack on a young fellow.

Two archery 8-pointers not for here, but WAS got a 6-point with his ... Axis .350 Legend. Deer dropped in it's tracks, there won't be a whole neck to roast. He's stoked on the accuracy with Win 150g tipped ammo and asked for more. I'm down to one bx of 150s & would rather send him some 180s. I have a lot more of 'em.

"Whadda we got so far ..?"

I had to send my bother a couple boxes of 180 gr 3006's as he could not find any.. without taking out a loan for them!

I follow the gunwriters' convention of describing such an elk as 6x6. Don't think I'd call a '6x7' a 7-point or call a '6x5' a six-point.

In AZ you also only counted one side of the rack.

None of this "cheating" stuff.

I never knew the west coast people couldn't count both sides of a rack. Wonder how that started, since points are points?

Maybe they cant count that high out there??

I believe at one time it was to differate between whitetail and mule deer.

 

[paulsharvey]

In Florida, per hunting regs, it talks about 3 points on a side; so that means a 5 point is legal or a 6 point; but when someone says a 6 point, they mean 3x3; a 3x4 we would call a 7 point, ect.

Out here in Orygone, this is a 4X5 w eye guards.
