Big Racks with few points

Tom Leemans · August 31, 2012, 09:08:00 AM

I wish I had a camera with me a few years back. We had a local buck retain his rack into the Spring. Saw him traveling with some does. He was a 6 point that would probably make book, if you went for that sort of thing. One of those deer that you immediately notice how tall his tines are.

This is a big 'ol 6 my buddy killed on our place back in 2005.

Here is a 7 pointer that is fairly good size for here in deep south...has two small kickers so I could technically call him a 9....but basically a 7 pointer.

7 pts don't count Brock. He's got too many points for this thread.

:D

I really thought there would be more long spikes or big forks shown. Don't any of you shoot deer that aren't 8pts?

I have quite a few short spikes and small forks. And I rarely shoot deer that are 8 points. I typically try to keep it around 5 points or less.

I've long thought that backstrap length/weight should be included in total P&Y scores. I've killed a few slicks that would have easily made the record books.

Thats an absolute giant. I'd rather shoot that deer than a booner. A huge six has always been on my bucket list.

This old Mule Deer had a body to match his headgear. When I spotted the buck across a canyon he was with several other and he looked like a buffalo in a herd of ponies!!! He was way past his prime and almost toothless.

then hopefully I will get one of his sons this year...they are twins or whatever you call them...littermates...LOL One has a tall forkhorn on one side and a long spike on other. his brother has 3 points on one side and a spike with crab claw on end on other.

Would they count? LOL

I think this is a 6 point...

This one is a forkhorn on one side and spike on other...

This is my half devil goat deer...
