Do you count all the points ,when talking about the antlers? Why is there an eastern count and a western count - a 3x3 with eye guards is a 8 point eastern and 3 point western - A forky is a 2 point with eye guards western and a 6 point eastern or is it a 2 point eastern - -Thats just white-tails - With mule deer they never count the eye guards even though some are quite large - And last question - what states divide the eastern/ western count areas ? quite confusing !- gary

Yes I count all the points 1 inch & up. Traditional in MN & WI.
As near as I can tell the dividing line is approximately the Missouri River.
The western count sometimes catches on here especially if a buck has different points on each side. 4x5. In this case seems more accurate way to describe the deer.
A fork is a fork every where I have hunted.
