You count em. ;D
But seriously, you just count em. I know in parts of the country they count each side separately so this would be a 3x4 but in God's country (Southeast) we keep it simple. Start with one and count till you run out of points. I'm assuming you know what a point is. :o ;)

Do you mean the points of the antler? Cause if so, that makes sense.
What about a doe? I don't think you hunt those though.
Marks:
Yes the points of the antler. That deer has 3 points on one side and 4 on the other.
Of course, does do not have points but in most states you can still hunt them. Every state has different guidelines as to how many you can kill. In my state (AL) in past years you can kill 2 does per day every day for the entire season. You can kill 1 buck per day but only 3 bucks per year and one has to have at least 4 points on one antler. They are changing that this year in parts of the state because a disease has decreased the population. They are going to lower the number of days you can kill a doe and you can only kill 1 per day.
Killing bucks within reason does not affect the overall population since each buck breeds several does. The leftover bucks will breed them all. Does are killed for population control because obviously dead does don't have babies.

There are deer problems where I live. One probably got hit by a car cause it has one back leg messed up(its always in my backyard eating the grass). I have also seen a few fawns.
I have to be careful to look into the wood near my target cause I don't want to hit one.
