Buck?

Deer season. Around here the last two weekends. I suppose across most of the country.

Really, it’s been going on longer than that as I think bow season for deer started the first part of September. It’s a wonder any survive! But they do. Matter of fact they never take as many around here as the GF&P allocates licenses. Mostly because most hunters want horns. And there are lots more does than bucks.

Anyway, a friend emailed these pictures of  a dinky little buck in Cass county Nebraska. Why on earth would you bother to shoot something this small and then take a picture of it? Oh well, I guess some people are just easily pleased. Bet he goes ahead and spends the money to get it mounted. What do you think?

  1. That’s a good one Dick!

    Pony girl, just the rack or the whole deer. We have bigger around but not near as many points!

  2. The whole deer……..Love the rack though. But how do you count points? In Oregon the muleys were counted one one side and the points had to be as big as your little finger. In Florida, if you could hang a ring on it it was a point and both sides were counted. In Alaska hunting deer is really localized on Kodiak Island and in the Southeast. They are called Sitka black tailed deer. I’ve only seen them in the zoo and I don’t know how they count the points.

  3. Around here if they have 5 on one side and 6 on the other they would be a 5×6 or 6×5.

    I think if a ring can hang off it, but I am not into racks much so really don’t know for sure.
