Not everything sticking up is a point in this context. If it's not eminating from the main beam, it's not a point. Look at the buck I posted (River rut...). That's not a 10 point.

I understand your POV of this and I can see it both ways. BUT that is a 10pt every day in my book

I can see the argument for 9. It would bewrong, but it would be an argument. There isn't one for 10.

from the Boone and Crockett website:

"To be counted a point, the projection must be at least one inch long, with the length exceeding width at one inch or more of length."

1st is harder to see


Me: bagillion
My guess for you: 8

Looks like 10/8/8 , but I'm not sure. Oh, and once a set gets too far into non-typical, calling it anything other than "A huge non-typical" is pointless. Pun not intended.

I will come here and admit I have now Idea what a "150" class means.


I've been deer hunting for 20 years and I don't know what it means either. Sometime in last 7 or 8 years, it became hip to refer to bucks in this manner. If you speak with more jargon, like "G2" and "droptine kicker" etc., you are even cooler. If you argue about a bucks score on an internet message board, you have achieved ultimate hunster status--sort of like a deer hunting hipster.

My point was that those are all relatively new references to antlers/deer hunting.

Not trying to be an arse, but they may be new to you. They have been around as long as i can remember. I'm old.

Is this your personal definition or something formal? I get not counting all those little stickers at the base some bucks have, but just cause that buck had his g2 and g3 fused you would still call him a 9?
