Title: 17 point whitetail
Post by: HornHoarder on March 07, 2011, 07:02:09 PM: I just came across some pictures of a buck my buddy shot last archery season. It was one we knew well, have 2 years worth of trailcam pics of this deer. Nine scorable points on one side, Eight on the other. I dont think it has been officially scored, but is 150ish. Oh, did I mention this was his archery kill ever. Lucky SOB.

Id love to see those!
He does look young, and if he put on a lot of antler from 09 to 2010 I bet he was..

Here he is in in 2009. He had 6 points per side, counting the split eyeguards. which he broke off later.
