This one is a little wierd, looks like his rack grew that way, I don' t think its been broke off.

Nice 8 point here.

Another nice 8, could be the same deer as above.


This is one of the best pictures I have gotten so far, I wish it would have showed a little more of the deer that this one in bowed up to. Note the little tag hanging down on his neck just below his jaw, I got a pic of him last week and thought it was a piece of grass or weed, but with it still being there it must be a piece of skin or possibly a thorn , look close and you can see some swelling around it.

Very nice pics strut. That sure is an odd looking rack in that first picture. 3-4 years ago a guy at our camp shot a buck with 5 points on one side and a spike on the other. That' s how it grew, I' d like to know why that happens. Thanks for sharing the pics. I' d like to see that 8 point this weekend.

Nice pictures, we are getting a lot of buck pictures on our lease, all at night and they are still in velvet.
Given the shot, I think I would cull the buck in the first picture. On my land about 5 years ago I got a good look at a mature buck before season with about 5 points on one side and a couple of points on the other. Since then I have culled two similar younger bucks in the same area hoping to help end that genetic link.
