Reminds me (since this is an off the wall thread).

Opening weekend, me and a couple buddies were duck hunting legally in Louisiana (on the border), and afterwards went to this little bar in Mississippi for some drinks. We kept getting some really ugly looks. I thought we were about to get in a big fight with some locals. Finally, one of them said, "what y'all hunting." We said ducks and he looked all pissed off, then we heard somebody say "poachers."

Duck season wasn't open in Mississippi. But the fact that we were 5 minutes from the state line never crossed their mind.

It's simple.....4x4 = four wheels in total and of that four wheels are driven (have power supplied to them) When the word "wheel" is used, it could mean a single like most trucks or a dual like those on one tons or big semi tractors.

For instance a typical semi tractor..... say a Peterbilt, would be considered a 6x4 in that it has six sets of wheels (even though the rears are double sets of double tires) and of those six sets of wheels four are driven, that being both the rear axles or tandems if you would.

You just need to remember that an axle can only have two"wheels" one on each side. Even though each "wheel" may contain multiple tires and rims like fouron a semitractor, it's still considered and counted as a "wheel".

Savy?

My dad's shot more bucks than I ever will and says horns. Around western PA it's rare to hear someone say antlers.

I can't stand to hear people call an SUV a truck. A truck has a bed on it. An SUV is a stationwagon on steroids.

And in closing most 4X4's are really 2WD's. You only have 2 wheelssupplying power at one time unless they have posi-lock or a locking differential. An all wheel drive is the only true 4WD.

Honestly I always thought it was a southern thing with horns. Just like crappie or (CRAP-PIE) or Acorn or A cornsss. You know what I mean I hope, lol .Either way does not bother me.
I use antlers myself which by definition they are.
