As I am sure you know, many western hunters do not count eye guards on mule deer as points. When filling out harvest reports, would an eye guard on a mule deer be considered a point?
Answer:
Eye guards are not counted as points for the purpose of reporting mule deer. A 4x4 may also have eye guards in addition to the 4 main points on each side. A Forked horn or 2 point is a 2 point even with an eye guard (see page 8 in the big game rules brochure).
