Sound like something hunters report seeing on President's Island!
Andy!
Are you saying an 8-pointer is a "better" rack than a 10-pointer? :shock:
Generally speaking, in my eyes, yes that can be true. I am probably in the minority here, but the number of points means nothing to me when it comes to bucks I target.TheLBLman":1nyrydg0 said:Andy!

The best part about this particular, at least in my eyes, was he had about 3-4" of brow tines, so that alone should tell you how good everything else was and how great of a "frame" the deer had. If I had my rathers, I would have been fine with him losing the brows and grossing 143" as a mainframe 6 point. How many of those have you seen, much less killed, in your lifetime?TheLBLman":228nhcgh said:THAT would be a heck of a rack!Andy S.":228nhcgh said:. . . . . a 147" 8 point best to date.

Generally speaking, if the gross score, say 140", were to remain the same for an 8 point, a 10 point and a 12 point, I would rather kill the 8 point. I can promise you the 140" 8 point will more times than not have a better frame (width and height), longer beams, longer tines, better spread, and better mass measurements IF all of the above bucks had a gross score of 140"
Me too, and both would be a buck of a lifetime for TN.bryan1967":yop4foqk said:150" 8 or a 160" 10...wouldn't matter to me. I'd shoot whichever gave me the opportunity.
