What a monster from Benton County.!!!! I am sure those genetics are still around that area. Does anyone know what the score was on the buck?

It's hard to tell from the camera angle, but the same 2 tines @Specializedjon has the arrow pointing at may share a common base and not be a G2 and G3 but a single G2 that's forked, with a separate kicker.

Thats the only possible explanation I can see that makes sense of how this buck could be considered non-typical...either way, what a beautiful buck...truly a giant.

Still wouldn't make it non-typical, I wouldn't think. The right G3 and its kicker would be considered irregular points and deducted from score, but there's nothing non-typical about that rack.

Agree that theres nothing non-typical about the buck...also question where the buck is listed as a non-typical? If its listed as a non-typical in the TN Deer Registry then I believe they allow the hunter to chose which way they want it entered...I know of one buck that is a very typical, main frame 10pt, with way less than 15" of junk....and this buck is entered as a non-typical.

Maybe he "chose" it but I'd call that BS if allowed to do so just because you "want" it. That's not directed at you though


After further thought, I think you are right. If you enter as typical, there are deductions, if you want every inch counted then you enter as non typical
