Nice set of deer!  side note I was brought up to count one side if there are even.. a 4x4 is a 4 point and a 4x3 is still a 4x3 on the east coast a 4x4 is an 8 point...cheaters! jk
:yike: lol Then call the one on the left a 2x3 and the one on the right a 5 point. lol I call it a 5 point. I don't care what anyone calls it. There trophy's to use. Just like my first deer. Which was a big doe and I had her shoulder mounted. There all Trophys in my book. Hell my first buck was a blktail spike. I would of had him mounted but the .270 throw the head  :sry: "well you get the picture" LOL

actually you all need to read your hunting regs on the muzzle loader equipment requirements.. the cap must be exposed to the weather at all times... those enclose the cap thus not legal for washington state. Like I said.. not trying to start a fight just trying to keep people from getting in trouble.

Ignition is to be wheel lock, matchlock,
flintlock, or percussion using original
style percussion caps that fit on the
nipple and are exposed to the weather.
"Exposed to the weather" means the
percussion cap or the frizzen must
be visible and not capable of being
enclosed by an integral part of the
weapon proper. Primers designed to
be used in modern cartridges are not
legal.
Straight from the washington state hunting regulations... I don't want people getting in trouble if they get stopped. I just had this arguement with my brothers father in law who has a in-line muzzle loader like the ones being discussed and after reading the regs he agrees 100% with me.
