Title: Odd Eye Guards
Post by: LongTatLaw on September 13, 2009, 11:16:37 PM: Well,

I finally got some copies of the pictures of my buddy's Oregon Archery deer and although it wasn't a very big 4pt...it had strange eye guards that are shaped like Ive never seen on any deer and seem very odd for a mule deer... enjoy
