All the reasons given above make sense, but Dan I agree with you. I guess it's because most of my hunting history has been (usually) shooting the first buck that came by. Naming your deer means you live in a world of surfeit deer that I've rarely experienced.

Ranches I have been on it was easier for the LO to identify a buck for me by a name. I don't name bucks on my own place. If I did that would make them seem more like a family pet. Some ranches name big bucks for the ease of identification when they have lots of big bucks running around.

its been said, by everyone else, we name ours so we can keep up with them year after year (after year after year after year) and so we can identify them and talk about them.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

I can see the need to name them if you have a bunch to talk about. I can't wait for the day I have to name them on my place. 
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I think it's gay. It's even more gay when they name them on television shows.

I don't like naming things that will be shot. and later cleaned and eaten. Such words as "small" or "young" added to the number of points in the rack has always been sufficient for the guys that I've hunted with for some 35+ years. Of course, anything larger gets called "nice", "good", or "great" once it's hanging from a meat pole.
