LOL!...sounds like my dad....we debate that frequently. He has a deer he calls a 12pt, but I call it a 9 with stickers. I told him the only "sticker/kicker" that I count as an individual point would be split brow tines. My preference is if it's an individual point growing tradtionally/upwards from the main beam, then it's a "point". Drop tines are "drop tines", and sideways growing points or points growing from another "tine" are just stickers. So I call his deer a 9pt with stickers (it's 5x4 with 3 stickers on the 5 side). But shucks, ain't a hill I'd die on, we can call it what we like!
