Worlds smallest buck?
« on: November 15, 2013, 12:29:04 PM »
Got this little guy yesterday afternoon. Had no idea it was a "buck" until looking at it for about 15 mins. He's a older buck with a pretty big body which doesn't make sense why his rack is so small. I wasn't sure if he was legal or not so i went back to camp to ask my grandpa and headed back up there and he was right where i left him. About a 20 yard shot with my brothers .243,thing didnt run 5 feet then fell to the ground. Might be small but it'll be good eatin for sure!

congrats,   I don't know about older buck though,  I say looking at his snout he is a younger buck.

I agree. I thought I saw milk on his lips but it could just be the angle  :chuckle:

 :peep:

Absolutely, and it looks to have an antler on one side that has a point of at least an inch. Good for you for doing the responsible thing and getting a second opinion instead of shooting it first.  :tup:

Only has to be a bony growth that protrudes above the hairline.  It is 100% legal and I also say good job on making sure, better safe than sorry and shows responsibility.

Sounds like that was a good use of 15 minutes to look him over!

My wife's first buck was like that.  Could tell it was a buck by the face and black uni-brow but no antlers.  About 80 yards away and it put its head down and those two buttons practically glowed.  Told her it was legal and if she wanted to "BOOM"   I never finished the sentence.

The first time I saw this on a small screen, I couldn't see the white antler, I was looking at the tufts of orange hair.

Definitely not an old buck.

Nice tasty steaks  :tup:  Doing a European mount?
