I have a 3 yr old that has a very narrow rack with long main beams, they slightly curve with a couple of 2” points on the underside of the main beams. I’ve got trail cam photos of him lowering his head and putting his points between the antlers of the bigger bucks and backing them off. The way my luck is he’ll kill them both when the rut starts kicking in. Elite Omnia, Easton FMJ, Axcel Landslyde 5 pin slider.

I personally wouldn’t worry about it plus you run the risk of running your hit list bucks off once the killing starts. If I’m locked in on a particular buck or bucks my focus is not doing anything to spook them while I’m trying to kill ‘em. We’re not dead. We just smell that way. Dayum. - AC870 Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

The younger buck had a strong 4 point right side and the left side was about a 12-14” dagger of a spike and I think the other bucks just couldn’t compete with him because he was tearing the tops of their heads up with that spike when they got into it.

Don’t really want to kill him but I don’t want him becoming top dog and either killing the other bucks or running them off. Elite Omnia, Easton FMJ, Axcel Landslyde 5 pin slider.

Took me a while to realize what was up. After i killed him everything kinda went back to normal and my bucks came back all broke up. But season was over then. I wish i had figured it out a little quicker.
