Lots of times when I'm watching hunting shows you will hear the host say "he's a good representative buck for the area". Usually he's not a supper trophy but a nice deer. So if someone from another state or country asked you what a good representative buck from Alabama is, what you say? How old would he be? How much would he weigh? What would his antlers score? I realize bucks from the black belt, ye high Ole Jackson, and a few other areas would be slightly better, but in general what you say?

1.5 yo 115# 45" 5 point

200 lbs. 100-120"

South Alabama? A 150#, 2 and a half year old 8 point that scores about 100 is what you describe.

Around here 180 pounds 110-120".

Button head, 70lbs.......a shooter

Brown with 4 teats.

Milk still dripping from its mouth.

Running too fast to tell what it is. Dogs jumped it from posted private land. Looks like a buck from this public county road. Put my beer down, shoot, and count points later. Sound about right?

110", 3.5YO, 8 pt , about 140-150 lbs dressed is bout as good as it gets most places in the Heart of Dixie.

You from CLAY COUNTY????

Wow. Spot on. Sad but true.

I disagree , Most don't get to live that long around here.

"Representative buck. "


Depends on what his convictions are andwhere he stands on current issue.

Yep, that's him except probably a little lighter around here.

It amazes me at how many people I personally know who claim to pass-up 120"-130" bucks all the time, and see several 140"+ bucks every year, whose largest buck on their wall will not break the 120" mark!

Honestly, a 120" 8pt is a dang good deer.

This is dead on. We've hunted our place a ton for the past 10 years and we've only got 2 120" deer. We don't shoot many deer but definitely haven't seen the elusive 140" even on camera. I don't think he exists at our place.

You are correct I'll take him everyday.

Unbelievable! And people wonder why you can't kill big bucks! Everything is wrongly managed!
