You guys must have smaller deer than we do. An 8 point around here is enough to kill a Mack truck, let alone a KJ. Especially at 65mph.
Mule deer are significantly larger than white tail deer.
He did not say anything about Mule Deer. If he had I am sure he waould have said 4X4 and not 8 point. Besides they have white tails there too and they are MUCH bigger there than we have in Ky and Ohio.
Umm, since he was talking about deer where he lives (Wyoming) being bigger than than the deer that was hit in Ohio...
Yeah, they have white tail out West but the more prevalent species is the mule deer. In Ohio, there is just the white tail. SO, if he is talking about "an 8 point around here is enough to kill a Mack truck" he is likely referring to the Mule deer. Not sure what you ment by "he would have said 4X4 and not 8 point." I've never seen a 4X4 deer... white tail or mule.

Wow, slow down all of ya. yes, the deer out here are quite a bit bigger (or so I'm told... never been very far east and didn't see any deer when I was over that way). I wasn't really referring to either kind. a "4x4" has 4 points on each horn, combos like 4x5 (4 on one side, 5 on the other), 6x7, etc. are also possible. Although, most of the time, people around here just go by the number of points on one side. Thus when you said 8 point, I thought of a deer that has 8 points on each horn. That'd be a hell of a big buck, mule or white-tail.
