Why are deer measured differently in different areas?

I lived most of my life here in Idaho but for about 4 years I lived in Alabama. One day while in Alabama a friend of mine shows up to work bragging about his 10 point buck. Being from out west I think to my self "holy crap that much be a monster" When I show up at his place that evening I see what to me is a 5 point buck, while its still big its not what I had pictured in my mine.

Out west (at least here in Idaho) we typically only count 1 (the one with more points in the case of an more on one side than the other) side of the antlers but in Alabama and on most forums I read they count both sides. I wonder what makes the difference?

Not a huge deal it just seems odd to me.

all 26 of my guns are 45/70 govt, 357 mag, 22 or 12 ga... I believe in keeping it simple. Wish my wife did as well...
