The beauty of deer antlers is the endless variety of shapes, sizes and general makeups they come in. I've personally seen the following that embody what I'm talking about: super wide rack but with no tine length, tall tined rack with no spread and short main beams, incredible mass but no tine length or beam length, short kickers and split tines on a generally small rack.
When you are deciding whether not to use your prized buck tag and assuming the buck is considered mature for the area, what antler characteristic in a rack will tempt you even if the rack as a whole doesn't quite measure up to your preferred standards?
For me any buck that has stickers, kickers, drops, splits, burs, palmations or any other form of non-typical points gets me excited. The muley buck in the attached photo had great height going for him but very short forks, no width and ok mass but his overall appearance was enough to convince my trigger finger. What trips your trigger?
