[QUOTE="mnmtranching, post: 465540, member: 3937"] The East/ West antler point count goes way back. At one time the White Tail deer populations pretty much stopped roughly at the Missouri River in the North and about Mid NB and South. Anyway the Mule Deer horns typically fork then re fork as the buck matures. The Western count was for Mulies. What would be a 10 point in White Tail country is a 4 pt Muley. But, when States started passing laws to control the hunting, deer heads expanded and increased dramatically. White Tails followed the brushy river bottoms to the West. So, Westerners being used to the forked Mule Deer just used the same count for White Tails. Who's right? Well according to all official scoring rules, any point 1 " long is score able. Yup! even in Western States. :D :D [/QUOTE]
