Smallest legal (three point or better) Branched antler bucks...shot

[boneaddict]

Lets see them.  No live pictures...they belong in the barely legal threads.  Lets see headmounts and sheds.

IIRC I killed this buck the very first year of the 3pt minimum restriction. He was a big SOB,just lacking in the antler dept.

Inside spread is about 5 1/2" the rack is about 7" tall.

My first deer using a bow...

[boneaddict]

perfect examples guys.

found this last week

I might have the smallest shed!

I shot a tiny little basket rack up in the high country near Winthrop quite a few years ago.  Symmetrical rack, but I salted it down on my tailgate and it disappeared.  I think a dog ate it, or a coyote. 

I always get too much blood on my hands for field photos, so you'll just have to envision it.

Dang wastickslinger, that one will be hard to beat.

I always find the smalles sheds. I like them all though. They are all unique in some way or another. But I like the big ones better

My dad about 30 years ago and one of his blacktails. Sorry for the poor picture!

I hate to admit it but you guys are in my wheel-house now.

Here's a 3pt whitetail with a B & C score of 34-2/8. The first is of it hanging and the second is just the massive rack.

I was beginning to think that you haven't harvested a deer before.

Here's a little whitey my nephew shot last season.  Found him eating apples.  He's got a small little 3pt rack, and a neck as long as a giraffe.

that is bizarre, duck. awesome keychain, though. i can say i've never thought of making a keychain out of a shed antler.
i've got to go find my camera.

[boneaddict]

I've had one for 15 years.  They hold up quite well. 

[jackelope]

is it a whole antler though?

[boneaddict]

I cut the burr off.  Its what we call a spooner.  I'll have to get a pic.  It was about a 4 inch long 4 point.  Smokepole would call it the smallest pisscutter moose he'd ever seen.

[jackelope]

well...here is the slammer buck i killed a few years ago. he has an outside spread of 9" and is about 9-10 tall. he is a last day buck i killed to hang on the wall in the garage. i took him off the wall to get pictures of the mount that would do him the  proper justice.

[Smokepole]

You guys are making me feel bad.  This is supposed to be for small deer.  Heck most of these I would have caped out for a shoulder mount.  They're museum grade bucks in my book.   

[boneaddict]

I've got one for you smokepole.  I'm sure I saved the rack, but I'm dang sure I buried it at the bottom o fthe pile.

I have been carrying an antler keychain off of the first deer I ever shot (at) since I was old enough to drive, so about 23 years.......  I shot it but it ran literally into my brother.  He finished it off at about 4 feet.
