Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Impressive bucks without a lot of points

Wish I had a better photo but I killed this 6 point with my bow years ago. Good mass on the horns and a really big body for Alabama. But just a 6 point.

Saw this guy a couple years ago. Tall and narrow forked mule deer with a huge body on him.

I love those big six pointers. I dunno why

My narrow 8.

This 8 point doesn't have an impressive rack but he was the alpha buck in that area. He was huge for WV.

Very cool pics. Some of those are likely really old and on the decline. My dad and uncles always told stories of my great uncle shooting a 220+ pound white tail spike horn buck that was over 10 years old. Thinking I’d get that mounted just because.

Youngest son shot this one quite a few years ago. Absolute tank of a deer. We ended up shooting three with velvet antlers like this on our place over the course of a few years.

I shot another spike with smaller antlers, but an even bigger body.
Oldest son shot a 2x3, but was the smallest body of the three.
On each deer, the testicles were the size of a thumbnail. Loaded with fat and fantastic table fare.

My business partner and I have some property in SW Mississippi. The first year we had it, he shot an absolutely ancient 6 pt that was still the heaviest deer taken off the property (240 lbs) and an incredibly massive rack. There is no agriculture near the property and we’re surrounded by National Forest so it gets a good bit of pressure. The buck was very fat and seemed to be in good shape but there’s no telling how old he actually was. The teeth were very worn so he was well over 5.5.

I love big old 6ptr's......never killed one, but hopefully one day it will happen.

ya!

GWB

I like this one!

Looks like a huge jackalope!

Killed this one with my bow on a place we used to hunt. Had pictures of him for a couple years and he always looked the same. One afternoon I was watching a white oak trying to shoot a doe and he shows up mid afternoon. I don’t know exactly what he weighed, bet he was around 225, but he was really fat, heavy and filled up the back of my pioneer!

Neat photos & some cool stories.

I got this forky mulie 2 years ago. He was the biggest forky I've ever shot, by a good margin. In a few more years he might have made it to the whopper category.

Used to do work for a guy that had the hugest 7 PT (eastern count) that I have ever seen. G 2s were 12-14" and the inside spread was 22". The plaque said the deer weighed 334lbs. We just don't grow them that big here. It was killed in the early 1970s if I remember correctly which could have put him as a descendant of some of the deer that our Wildlife and Fisheries had brought in from Wisconsin or Minnesota in the late 1950s. The buck was killed with the use of hounds to run him out of the swamps. He was shot with a .243Winchester.

DAMN!

Shot this one many years ago on my place in Paso Robles. Only a forky but good size for a blacktail.

These were in my neighbors yard back in 06.
