8 if that's how you count them. Around here we just list them by one side of they're even so we'd call it a 4 pointer. If there's an odd on the other then we'd call it a 4x3. 

Ive always found it interesting how different areas of the country classify the same thing differently.

Yeah where I am from we would count both sides and every point that is longer than an inch.  Just looking at your photo it we would call that a 11 or 12 pointer it seems but I have only hunted whitetail deer maybe different for mule deer.

I would watch mule deer strolling by in the mountains. They were prolific up there. 

I was driving on highway 337 one evening when a mule deer buck leaped into the road directly in front of me. I reacted quickly and turned the truck so that we only had minor contact; the buck was fine and continued on his way. I pulled over and checked where we collided... not even a dent. Not bad. 

If you want to see some racks, the elk up there have massive antlers.

Would like to know where the extras are coming from, I only counted the 4 main tines and 1 maybe an inch towards the base.

We got some good sized elk up here to.  They're massive, and beautiful animals. I've tried hunting them to, but never had any success.

Down here, the pronghorn are more popular with hunters.

I love looking at lovely Christmas scenes.   Maybe it reminds me of growing up in Pennsylvania.   When the first snow fell, my dad would pull me around the quiet, empty streets at night on my sled.

We have those up here to, and I hunt them as well. They make excellent jerky.

A former coworker was a hunting guide and devoted bow hunter. He preferred the pronghorn on account of how elusive and fast they are.

I wouldn't call them elusive. They're all over here, and if your patient, they're a rather easy hunt. If you find a field they like to hang out in, all you would have to do is put a pole on the middle and hang a flag from it, then find a place to hide some 25 yards away and wait. They will walk right up to it given time.

I've even had younger ones who've never been hunted before walk right up to almost within touching distance of me. Granted I'm not much of a bowhunter, but I've never found them to be a difficult hunt.
