When I was growing up we called them dog catchers. I see most people refer to them as brow tines. Anyone else call them dog catchers? Is it a regional thing? I am born and raised in Texas, but my dad is from Arkansas where they hunt deer with dogs.

I have heard brows referred to as eye guards when referrring to Mulies and Coues.
Brow tines for Whitetail.
Shovels for Caribou.
And...Caudles are the Axis term I believe.Comment

Brows and eyeguards are what we called "G1s".
Grew up hunting NE TX and SW AR and we always called the extra points that stick out to the side on G2s/G3s "dogcatchers.Comment
