How many points does this buck rate?
Yesterday's photo hunt for bucks was such a success, I took another shot at it today, and scored this big boy! You can see he has an atypical rack, so how many points would you say he has?
And if you don't think we have a lot of 'em here, check out the stand off below. Trouble's a comin' at high noon!

What, no drop tines?
I think you need someone to come over and "manage" that land for optimal conditions. I don't charge much, and could even do it gratis every once and a while (like weekends.) |

Capt, you not only have some beautiful deer there, but you also have some serious photographic talent! Those are great photos with excellent composition.

No problem there, Fisherman! There's a lot of guys drooling over these guys! Of course, the old granny that comes every day with a bucket of grain might be upset, though . I told her today, that, in about a month, she might want to rethink walking among Bambi's, or she might end up a hood ornament on a 14 pointer!

Thanks Butch! I really appreciate that! Now if only I didn't have to pay them union wages for posing...

Well, since the union fee is per deer; I can help you out!
Like my daddy always says, "Life ain't fair." True as ever. Beautiful spread and wildlife. How many acres? |

I can certainly tell you exactly where those deer are not at!

OK guys, I still haven't gotten any opinions on how many points this buck has. (see post #1) I'm guessing he's a 14 pointer, but the deer hunters I work with say it's debatable based on the "points" or "nubs" lower down on the antlers. Opinions?

I see 13 that look to be over an inch long, but it is hard to tell in the photo. I'll be happy to come help you figure out in person.

Looks like 13 not counting the questionable one on the very tip of the bucks left brow tine.
