Bama 12 point
 

I took this tall-rack 12 point today in East Alabama. He's got a 2 inch kicker point on the back of his left brow tine and a 1 inch sticker on the right base you can hang a ring on. I found fresh scrapes 2 days before that were still steamin' when I saw 'em. I was suprised when I sawthe scrapesb/c it's usually not until January when we see scrapes like that down here, so I knew I needed to get in there and hunt him asap. Set-up was perfect, I just wish it was this easy all the time. His spread wasn't wide at all but he's got a nice tall set of antlers with good character. Can't wait to see him on the wall.

That's a nice looking deer. How old do you think he is and what did he dress out at? I'm curious because I'm from Wis. and have never hunted down south. To me, he looks to be 3 1/2 or maybe 4 1/2. Deer like that would dress between 175 and 200 lbs up here. It gets pretty cold up here so the need the extra weight in order to survive the winters. Congrats.

Thanks.I figured hewasat least 4 1/2, but the base of the antlers were real knotty with those kickers and stickers on it making me think hewas older. He had fairly good mass too. He dressed at about 160, but my scale aint worth a crap so it wasn't too accurate. Nice deer for our area though.

Congrats!!!! I like the deer's left antler.

RE: Bama 12 point
 

The right antler is my personal favorite.

Roughly what would this rack score you think??? I didn't measure it or anything, but just by looking at what would be a rough score? Thanks for all the comments, y'all are good folks.

RE: Bama 12 point
 

Nice buck man. Was he rutting yet? I keep hearing more and more people talking this year and want to know if east Alabama is starting early.

RE: Bama 12 point
 

Congrats...I hunt in Vredenburgh, AL. every chance I get.

Yeah this one was just kickin it into high gear or about to. His tarsals were soaking wet and I could smell him from about 20 yards away, no lie. His neck was pretty big too. He had made 3 fresh scrapes 2 days before that something was peeing in, so I guess they're gettin ready. My buddy shot a nice 6 point this afternoon down here in Auburn on the national forest and it wasn't even close to starting to rut.I never see em going into rut this soon in Randolph county where I hunt, but that buck I shot was getting primed.
