OK, I'd LOVE for everybody who posted on this thread to look closely AGAIN at the buck we're talking about, then tell me it's an 8pt. I'm not concerned about the scoring proceedure, which some think makes that an 8pt. If that were my buck, I promise you I wouldn't be telling my buddies I killed an 8pt. The buck in that pic has 6 points, which really answers the original question, "is my buck a 6pt or an 8pt".
We did really run with this, but it's been fun.
