Picture of Palmated Buck
Thought you guys might enjoy seeing this buck my Cuddeback recorded. As you can see, he was still in velvet at the time of the pictureand it was dusk, which unfortunately made this picture somewhat dark. I blew up the picture so you could see it a little better because he was about 25 yards or so from the camera. You should be able to see he is heavily palmated on both sides. I really can't see brow tines, but let's assume he has something for brow tines just for the sake of tine identification. On the left sideyou will seeG2, & G3and you might also see the tips of G4 on the left just peaking over the palmated right side. If this is the case, he looks like he would be symmetrical. I think he will be at leasta 10 point and if he has brow tines, a 12 point. I don't really know how wide he is, but his right ear is sticking straight out and it looks like he might beoutside the ears, but the palmated horns might be just creating an illusion.
So, let's have a little bit of fun. What do you think he will gross and is he typical?...or non-typical? I have my own guesstimate for a gross, I'd like to see how close you all are to my guess. I hope I can take a much better picture......with me behind hims and my bow laying over his shoulder...haha!! Or another trail cam picture might help. Regardless, if I get another picture of him, I will update you later.
