When talking about deer at camp, do you rely on main frame descriptions or you use total points?

I use mainframe + extra points....so if a buck is a 6x6 with one NT point..he has 13 points total. I will also use right side points first..so if a buck is a 6x5 typical frame...you would know he is 6 pt typical on the right side and 5 typical on the left. Point total is not a good reference for identifying a buck for me.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

With all the camera's now. We can pretty much look at the photos and name the bucks and then just talk about them.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I tend to run with Ranch Man's methodology. Main frame 8 with a kicker for example.

Interesting question and has some discussion value(allegedly.) Way to go Hud. Stx pretty much right on again. Although I say left first(like reading a book-left to right, why right first?) Any real prominent feature like "the real wide 8" or the "tall 10" or the "typical 12" or right now a huge buck is at a particular stand a lot so we just call him by the stand name. Eventually as a buck becomes known within the group he will usually get a nickname that sticks which I personally dont like to personalize a deer by giving it a name but it does help for reference as they are referred to often.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

We just say he was a “big (expletive.)“
The severity of the expletive told you what you needed to know.

My bad, that post should have read, An alleged main frame 8 with a kicker for example. Pardon me, I was not thinking.
