Holy mother of Mary that is a nice California deer Hatchet!
 
Again Matt, great A zone buck..........Your 1st one?..........:joy:


ps.....Someday you've got to put a picture of the old garage..........;)
 
here is a great question.

the eye guard cannot be used in the judgment of legal buck. the buck has to have at least 2 little forks on the upper 2/3 of the antler correct?.
I though the eye guard was the normally bulging part directly above their head...is this the eye guard?

To be techinical, 6 point since you can hang a ring on the second one. I'd be embarrassed calling it that. (I forgot, six point is for whitetails) But I wouldn't call it 3x3.

Tall forky
 
Im fairly certain this buck is a fork horn...with 1eye guard..but I'm pretty new here . I'm baby stepping my way to the top....I'm going to visit more often...thanks fellas.

Stevo..that would be a trophy in some parts if he ever branched an antler....there's always hope and prayer!
 
Nice buck hatch, way to put the smack down on him! Now as for the conversation on what to call this thing, where is this 6th point?
 
Thanks for the clarification! Newbie makin sure I do the right thing if the right time comes
