High scoring 6 pt???

[First-light]

Guys,

Just talked to my nephew this morning and a friend of his shot a big 6pt. It scored close to 120. He was told very few 6 pts have ever been taken over the 100pt score. He is actually getting some type of recognition from, I think, P/Y.

What's your take take on this? Back in 1991 I shot a big 6pt that scored 111pts. It was officially scored and recorded.

Any thoughts?

Where's the pics?  Congrats to him

Not only do very few score over 100.. hardly any ever score 120... is it a true 6? 3x3? if so , thats saying something... I published one iin my magazine years ago that scored 123... he was a bruiser... nice spread, high tines, and good mass... love to see a pic

[First-light]

Thanks for the info NYantler. Here is a picture of mine, the deer in the middle. It does have 7pts but the scorer said because the other browtine is missing it gets scored as a 6pt. Official score was 111. I remember the spread being around 22". I'll work on getting pictures of the other deer, it was killed this year. My deer was killed back in 91.

Thanks,

Burt

Nice bucks I like the buck to the right of the window (non-typical) nice character. I'm always attracted to non typicals. As for your post it seems unlikely but not impossible.

[First-light]

Thanks-yes that's a cool rack. His right side is also bladed out so it's about 5 " wide where all the points meet.

Here is the picture of the big six taken this year. It was shot in Cayuga city and green scored 117.

Burt,

that's a GREAT 6 but I don't know if that will score 111.

It has nice spread but seams to be lacking tine length to get a really big score.

Did anyone see the 6 that was in the Recorder last weekend?

18-1/2" spread with 11" G2's

Let's look at the one in the Recorder this way

I tried to compare it to mine and it looks close. My deer has 11" tines.  He also gets both browtines included. Regardless it is still a huge six point over 100 pts.

[phade]

This is my 6 from this year. If his G-2 didn't break, he'd score decent for a 6. And, he's a true mainframe six...no kickers/splits, etc.

18 or 18.5" spread...I forget now, ha. Maybe it'll serve as a reference point. His remaining G2 is in that 11" ballpark. Didn't measure it, but by length of hand, he had a few inches left of my thumb-to-middle finger measurement at 7" or so.

[First-light]

Got to love those long tines! Nice buck.

[Geno C]

some nice 6 points in here

[nyantler]

Burt.. I've been scoring deer for a lot of years and although that buck is a great 6-pointer it doesn't quite look like it scores 117.. maybe 100. Still a very very nice 6-pointer

[nyantler]

Your buck is really nice to Burt.. but actually its an 8-point frame which gets scored as an 8 minus the tine. Not a true 6-pointer. If it didn't grow any brow tines it would have been a true 6... very nice buck though.

[First-light]

Joe,

Thanks for the info. When I did receive the picture I thought it was a nice deer but not in the 120 class. My deer has real nice tine length 11-12" the other deer seems to be missing that and the right side is smaller. So my deer is a main frame 8 pt missing a brow tine? Good to know and thats what I like about this forum, we have many informative people on board to help out.

Thanks again Joe bag a "big one Saturday!"

Burt

[nyantler]

good luck to you Saturday as well Burt

[nyantler]

Phade.. that buck is a BIG 6 point.. nice deer

Here's a picture of the big 6 that I was talking about in the Recorder Sunday with 11" G2's
