Took a 12 Point today!!!!!
 

Yes, on opening day, I took a 12 point, I was using Ruger # 1 .458 Win Mag with light 300 Gr. handloads at 1700 FPS. I set in front of a tree overlooking a small holler', when the deer came in I shot him at about 57 yards, dropped on the spot. dressed out at 145 lbs.

Nice job!

Post a pic please.

Also, It's a 6 by 6 not a 12 pointer.

if its a whitetail its a 12 pointer, if its a mulie then its a 6x6!!

RE: Took a 12 Point today!!!!!
 

Depends where it is. Aparently in some parts of the country if you shoot a 6 x 4 youcall it a 10 point. If you called it a 10 point in Montana you'd be laughed at.

right but in general whitetails go by totals not sides....i think it depends on populations of deer in the area like here in idaho we have very few whitetail so if you say you got a 12 pointer you know its a whitetail and a 4x4 would be a mulie....but your right where montana has lots of both the more details you give the better off your gonna be

WOW!! That's a nice buck!! Congrats!

Shot placement was not bad either, looks like you aimed for the heart.

Are you going to get your 12-point mounted?
