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.

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.  :dunno:

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 :chuckle:

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. :chuckle:

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.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
