Nice 3 point!  :chuckle:

Thats how wa bucks are recognized whitetail or not... :chuckle:

I'm with you houndhunter.  When I was a kid (and I'm not THAT old) everyone just counted main beam points.  I think when they started managing bucks by point minimums it changed everything...
I still refer to a buck with 3 on the main beam as a 3 point, but when I get a funny look I will reluctantly add "3-with-an-eyeguard"...
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Great buck. I don't care what you call it, I would be happy as heck to take him. With the how many points you have threads you can sure tell the younger guys.

I must be confused about how antlers are put together..
Do the eye guards come straight out of the head not off the main beam? :o

Yeah but what if he had double brows or forked g-2s ??????????????   :chuckle: :chuckle:
Then he would be a 4 point with forked G2's, a 5x5, a 10 point, OR  a 3 point with eye guards and forked G2's  :chuckle:

A 10 pt can be a main frame 8pt with forked g-2s or double brows,  or a 10pt can be a main frame 10........or a mani frame 8 with double brows and forked g-2s would be a 12pt, or you could just have a main frame 12........or a main frame 10 for that matter............ :dunno: :dunno: :tup:

It's clearly a 3x3 with double inverted drop tines.  Nice ones too

People seem to not count brows so when u shoot a 170" buck make sure to subtract the brows and h1 circumference since u don't wanna accept that they don't count. It's a point growing off the beam!! No different than a g2 or g3

Better yet - 2 and 3 point elk are now just spikes with single or double brows. 

Could make the spike only units interesting.  "But I heard on HuntWA that brows don't count"  :chuckle:

That is a heck of a spike, for sure.

Where I come from we don't count tines less than 14", and look down on those who do.

P.S.  Gorgeous buck.   Thanks for sharing.

I have to modify my stand.

I'm calling it an 0X0 with 4 eye guards per side, because technically any of those points could protect his eyes.
