There are 2 nearly identical 6 pts running around on this property and this is the 3rd year we have seen them so they are have to be at least 4.5 !

Had one on my property last year that was minimum 18inches wide but was still young. I would love to see him again!

This six point will be 6.5 yo if he made it through the summer. This pic was from last season right after it closed. We had a couple of opportunities to kill him when he was guessed at 3.5. The past two years he will show up on camera a few times. Have yet to see him while hunting. Definitely would be a great buck to kill if I get the opportunity.

I've always had a fascination for the big 6's myself.

Here a photo of one from several years back.

There's most definitely something about those Big 6's!! Here's the biggest 6 Pointer I've ever had the opportunity to see and harvest. I had him in range on 3 different hunts, but let him walk. The 1st sighting I refrained so that my son could possible have the opportunity at him as he was joining me the next day. The 2nd, I determined this deer was "only a 6" and was just amazed at watching him. The 3rd time he was at 300 yards and I wasn't totally comfortable with the shot, so didn't take it. This happened in 2015 and I didn't get the opportunity to hunt him last year. I can only imagine how big he may have gotten or may still be.

A B-I-G 6 is for sure a pretty animal. Typically I would never shoot one and thus far I haven't. However... one of the few bucks from the past that I regret not shooting was a huge 6. I had him dead on his feet twice and my step son did once and we let him walk. When I finally decided to go after him I never saw him again. Body wise he was 1 1/2 times bigger than any other deer I saw him with, had a 24" spread, 14" tines, and 6.5"-7" bases with the mass carrying all the way up. As far as I know he was never killed.
