It means that in total there are 8 points on the deer. If you only saw six then it is a possibility that is had 2 eye guards that were an inch long and a little hard to see.Is this a 8 point deer?
The amount of points a rack has is the total amount of tines are present that are longer than 1 inch. To find your total point count you just add up anything longer than an inch.
the total number of points on the rack is how many points it is





if i saw the pic, i'd be able to help you more, you can go to my profile and send me a email that way- i'd be glad to help (:

A ';point'; has to be at least 1'; or more. Other than that, it is a sticker, bump, tickler, wannabe, nice try, drink some more, and it just doesn't cut it. (wisconsin)
It's a simple matter to calculate the points on a deer. A ';point'; is counted if it is at least an inch long. Most deer have the equal number of points on each side, but there are exceptions. I shot a 7 point deer last year. In some parts of the country, only one side is counted, so if there are 4 on each side, it's considered a 4 point. But in most places, the points are totaled, and the same deer wound be considered an 8 pointer.
count the points then you will no for your self if it has 6 points then that is what it is if it has 8 points then you got a 8 point deer
Points refer to the points on a deer's antlers. When scoring the number of points on a deer's antlers, anything large enough to hang a ring on will count as a point. There are two scoring systems. One system counts all of the points on both sides of the deer's antlers to arrive at the number of points. This seems to be the most common method. Another method counts only the points on one side. So, a deer having a total of 4 points on each side would be referred to as an 8 point deer under the first method. Under the second method, he would be referred to as a 4 X 4. If he had a total of 4 points on one side and 5 on the other, the first system would refer to him simply as a 9 point deer while the second method would call him a 5X4.
count the points, they need to be at least one inch long. A picture would be helpful
