Settle a bet (win me a beer)

[birdhunter]

Is it: Forked horn, forkin' horn, or fork n horn.

I've got morons for friends apparently. Jury is still out on what that says about me.

[danger]

I think it is really one of those words that you can't spell.

I've always said more like "fork-it horn"

Depends

[Crayfin]

It's not how I say it but I think it is forked horn

[Boatdog]

The horn is "forked", therefore, it should be called a forked-horn.

I like Black Butte Porter and Terminator Stout, thank you!

[Wreckless]

I say Forked horn....But I'm not that smart

[duckboy]

Forked , it forks like a freaking fork in the freakin road.

It is not a potato in which one might stick a "fokin" because it is done.

Nor is it a german mechanized animal nor is it a sport, Ich spiele forken Gern!

Das ist fantastich.

[fishlipper]

Forked-Horn for sure!

[OR Coast Range]

I normally punt on the issue and just say fork or forky.

[StevenB]

I have a lazy tounge. I say Fork Horn. Why say "ed" "in"?

Example: Why would I say Foured Pointer?

SB

[StevenB]

Fork is even better.

How many beers do you owe your pals now?

[Boatdog]

There's no such word as 'foured'.



Forky works!

[StevenB]

Sure there is a word like Foured..

Haven't you heard the car ad?
"Have you driven a Foured lately?"

Or was that a homeless update titled

"Have you lived in a Foured lately?"

SB

[Boatdog]

[Limbhanger]

Another vote for Forked Horn.

[Radke]

it's a

for-ked horn

two syllabels
for ked


I'm old, I should know these things. and don't question me!

[Washington Hunter]

Around here most guys just say "2 point."

But of the three choices you give, I would also go with "Forked Horn." (2 syllables as others have said)

[Small Fry]

Unless your hunting whitetail deer then it's a 4 point. But around here it's a forked horn

[Washington Hunter]

You Oregon guys really ARE different! :grin:

Do Oregonians EVER refer to a 2 point as just "2 point?"

I'm curious now.

Also, one other peculiarity I've noticed...in Oregon an either sex tag is referred to as a "hair tag." In Washington, we just call it what it is: an "either sex" tag.

We kant kont in orgun but we kan eats wuif a 4k

[Opportunist]

2 point

[RODACTION]

Well what the fork ? it is "F-O-R-K-E-D H-O-R-N"



I think :grin: it may depend on what side of town you live in.

[Hunt'nFish]

It's all about where ya come from.
In E.Oregon, it's a #&@K'N fork'n horn.

[RoscoeP]

Forked-horn all the way, or "Forky" for short.

[1eyed]

Forked Horn would be my vote

[RichH]

Well, I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express last week and I say it's a "Forked Horn"!

[StevenB]

No no no. :blush: Two point is used to discribe a deer (in Oregon) too. To this thread I think too many of us are not thinking to compare the two double pointed deer terms.

Held the Oregon State hunters terms meeting in May 05 and most hunters voted to continue with the "hair tag" term.
It isn't meant to be used on all doe tags though. Just for the tags that allow either a buck or doe.

Some hunters have insisted to reffer to a doe tag as a hair tag. This has been discouraged and a fine of $20.00 for the missuse of the term "hair tag" is being concidered.

[Bait O' Eggs]

Where did the N sound come from in those 2 options Ben,

Fork in and Fork N

never heard that version unless the shooter had to big a chaw in his mouth :tongue:

either way I spell it DINK

"Forked" if you want to brag it up a bit

BOE,
I think it came from "Darn it's a forkN forked horn"

[cwh]

I'm joining the minority here: Fork'n Horn. So we can get the statistics right, I grew up in SW Oregon.

On the other hand, I also thought that "lawn" had a "d" on the end of it until I was in 3rd grade, and my dad still insists that "giraffe" ends with a "t". Maybe I'm not the best source.

[TonTo]

Fork-ed Horn ,as stated earlier,you must pronounciate both syllables(fork--edd) forkt just doesn't sound right.

[Opportunist]

TonTo is right (fork--ed horn). I think we need a poll!

[BassBuster]

I have to say it's a forked horn sometimes pronounced fork-ed horn. But then there's the "spork" oh wait...or is it a sporked horn? :grin:

[earlybird007]

Its a fork-ed horn.....

But I have seen two deer that were single fork horns

Never have seen one with a fork in horn though....hehe

[reeldick]

We called the "Y" bucks.

[Chesapeake]

Im from washougal so I will throw you out of wack but I call it a Forked horn. Pronounced Fork-ed Horn.

A spork is actualy a foon.

Neopolitan ice cream is choc-nila-berry.

[Snapset]

If my hunting partner shot it it is called a "Spork-ed horn". You know who you are.

[seabass]

I love messing things up! Since it sheds the fork each year then it is an antler not a horn. Horns are there for life. At least this is what I have been told. Let me know if I am incorrect. I couldn't resist. I say it is a forked antler. Do I get the beer?

[Larry the Lurker]

forked (forkt, for`kid) , adj. 1. having a fork or forked-like branches. 2. zig-zag as lighting. 3.expressing duality, insincerity, or lies: he who speaks with a forked tongue. Also, forky. [ME; see FORK -ED3] -fork-ed-ly adv. fork-ed.ness n.
Mr. Webster and I will take a Coors Winterfest
Thank You

[Wreckless]

Seabass....... There's one in every crowd!!!

We call 'em DORKed horns, cause even I can get one occasionally

[Rank Amateur]

Well, I guess my vote is Fork-ed horn, even though they are antlers. Fork-ed horn!!!!

[Dip]

really it depends on where you live and the slang. some places politically correct forked horn, others forkin' horn or fork horn or fork n horn. Wait you could call it a four pointer, have a kid I go to school with from Tennessee its fun to give him junk about that.

[FishTech101]

They count all the tines in the eastern U.S. just to prove they can count. Sure is funny to see a hunter with his boot off trying to figure out how big his buck is.

[gottafish]

I call them ,dinks

[Rauly]

You are all wrong, it's a crotch horn.

Rauly

[Lured In]

Rauly...

I'm not gonna touch that one. Sorry I couldn't resist.

[MountainLion84]

I would say forken horn. Like "hey K9 Jeff, Nice Forken Horn.:
:smile:

[nookerdude]

sometimes as kids, we just repeat what we 'hear'; forked-horn turns into forken-horn or some other variation. As a friend once said to me: "sixty-one, half-dozen 'nother"

[weekender]

Is it forked on both sides, or just one?

If its forked on one side, and a spike on the other, the scientific term is "spork".

[jvp]

doe

[Crooked Hook]

Pronounced Fork-ED Horn from everyone I know. Or you can say it like my wife does ......... the splitty things

[Washington Hunter]

Although most people I know would just say "2 point," I can understand "fork-ed horn" but how an "n" would ever get in there I just don't get!

[wife&3kids]

I have heard all of the above, but mostly fork-in horn at least thats what I remember.

Fork Antlered deer is used as well

I like "dink"
I like to call them "Trophy"

[BlueWater]

It is fork'n Horn at my house. You can call it anything you want to at yours.

[Abalone]

You all speak with forked tongue !

[SlimPickens]

It doesn't really matter cause its not a horn anyways...its all slang for what it really is...

Forked ANTLER Let's start a new tradition...

[Blue Tip Spinner]

i always thought that it was refering to regs that stated that a deer my have at least one fork on one side and a spike on the other. what i was told is that it is a "fork and a horn", but people just started slaughtering it once the beer started to flow and now it whatever you want to call it. forky is what i use for a "2 point" and a spork is what i use for a "fork and a horn".

[bigfish06]

forkin' horn

[Super Fluke]

its fork horn
