Big 6-points

[nyantler]

For years I have had this fascination with big 6-points... not the no brow tine kind of six, but the typical 3x3 with brow tines and G2's only... if I have one dream in hunting it would be to kill one... not sure why I'm so drawn to them, maybe because they are so rare.

 

I have two buddies that have taken a big six... but I have never even seen a live one in the woods... does anyone else have the same fascination?

I like the 6 point with the solid brow tines...5 to 6 inch brow tines with mass really gets me, plus a solid main frame.

I always believed there was no such animal as a truly "BIG 6pt" until I found these on my hunting grounds. I got a little more interested in 6pts after this.

Never set eyes on him before or after this find. 

8" gnarly bases, and some of the deepest vein canals I've ever seen on an antler around here.

Nice. My dad has a really nice 6 with great mass. I'll have to take a pic of a pic someday.

Similar to your fascination is mule deer hunters who want a giant 3 x 3.

I wouldn't call it a fascination, but I like big 6's too. Here is my biggest

My dad got a nice 6 a few years back, I'll take a picture of the antlers when I stop up as his house.

This guy would have scored pretty well for a 6 if he hadn't broken his g2 off. Still a solid buck. Everyone seems to like the prototypical 8s but a big 6 is pretty darn cool.

This is the biggest 6 I ever saw.. Got it with the bow a couple years back... The very long brow tines are actually split main beams on both sides...

My buddy shot a very similar high rise 6 a few years ago, Very neat looking rack(s)

Something like this little guy would do just fine...

Certainly not as big as some of the 6pts seen above but this is my coolest 6pt.  Some of you might remember these pics from two (IIRC) years ago.  This buck was a stud, 182lbs (IIRC) and aged at 3.5 by the DEC but I kind of doubt it.  This is one buck I should have had aged the scientific way, after I did the European mount on him I could see even more interesting characteristics in him.  His skull was wider in girth than any other buck I've killed and did a European mount on.  The glands and facial structure were much more pronouced also.  He has mass and width but lacked tines!  18" inside........

 

Honestly, he is one of the coolest bucks I've ever shot.

LOL, I'm hunting one still!

This is from a cam of one of my hunting buddy's , it's not really a six as it has a small 7 pt. It was later taken in bow last year , not far from me...
