Default 6x6

Hey Everyone! First post on this forum !

I was curious of some of the users records here on the forum and if anyone was able of catching a 6x6 deer.

What's your best and why?

17 points is my best. I'm not sure if that was your question.

5X5 and 6X6 and lots of them. Don't need any more horns. Have also got a few non typical with palmate antlers and a few old unicorns.

Not really that rare but usually older and harder to kill.

What's most sought after then? More points the better, or something unusual?

I don't worry about it that much. I chase mature bucks that are hard to kill and elude most hunters. Some times they have 8 points and sometimes they have 20......Some times I get them and some times I don't.

Thanks for responding! When you hear 6x6 do you initially think of a deer or do you think of blind plans?

I'd consider a typical 6x6 whitetail at least somewhat rare. A lot of monster white tail deer get shot but even though it happens frequently; compared to the amount of people that hunt deer not many have 6x6 typical's on their walls. Generally you see 10 or 8 pointers. Although when you consider non-typicals which are less common then typical's, but tend to have a bunch of little antler beams all over the place it really racks up the count.
