Yes that’s a 3x3
A lot of guys have a generous interpretation of what constitutes an inch

Funny I was thinking the exact opposite.

I'd call it a 2x2.
Thats because youre calling it what it legally is, not what you want it to be.

Actually I'd have a hard time calling it a 3x3, even if legally it was. Still looks like a 2x2 even if those little points are an inch long. That's if I killed it. If someone else kills it, let 'em call it whatever they want.

2x3 with an eye guard is what he is, whether legal in your hunting area or not
In washington hes legally a 2x2. Neither of those little pokers is 1" long. And "eyeguards" are legal points in washington. They count. As long as theyre 1".

They used to distinguish "a point" by the ability to hang a ring on it, wish it was that way now, might keep a lot of bucks from being left to rot after someone tries to say its an inch long from a couple hundred yards away. To close to call on this particular little fella.

So I shot a buck almost identical to him about 6 years ago and he had like 3 little points that I thought were all about a inch. NOT one of them was. The closest was about a 1/8th inch short. I didn't turn myself in but I didn't hide it either. I tagged it and ate it and had it hanging in camp. If questioned by game warden then I would have just explained myself and put myself at his mercy.
Everyone makes mistakes at least you were straight up it about and in any case the statute of limitations has long passed so you're free to confess!

You guys don't think this measurement is an inch?thats not where the measurement would be taken. No its not an inch.

I would love for a game warder to chime in on this. Would the hunter receive a ticket?
From what Ive gleaned over the years from others doings...… Most GW prolly would not ticket for shooting this type buck. It does have 2 visible points(1 on each side) that would make the 3rd point. The concern is that may/may not be an inch, but they are very visible. That usually satisfies most GW.
I almost started an exact same thread, but with an elk. I'm not shooting either one.
DO IT, I feel that a lot of hunters can learn from these type threads...…..And they are fun to read all the comments ;) ;) :chuckle:

I am with you on this Nock. I am not looking at the eyeguard on the right, but it does look like a 3rd point on the left. That said I would pass simply because I think 4 out 5 GM would say legal...but that is not a chance I would to take.

Those both look at least close enough to satisfy a game warden and I bet they are right at that inch mark. Specially the one on his right side that look to be 2-3 inches.
I wouldn’t ever say anything is close enough to satisfy a game warden.

I have had this discussion with gameys in person. Every gamey will have a slightly different take of course but where a point starts and what makes a point is a little subjective. But if it’s within an 1/4 of an inch I would bet the vast majority of the time they will give it to you. And more things can be counted as a point then what some people realize.

I'd say not shooting a questionable deer has a much better chance of going home without a ticket.
