There are 2 nearly identical 6 pts running around on this property and this is the 3rd year we have seen them so they are have to be at least 4.5 !

This six point will be 6.5 yo if he made it through the summer. This pic was from last season right after it closed. We had a couple of opportunities to kill him when he was guessed at 3.5. The past two years he will show up on camera a few times. Have yet to see him while hunting. Definitely would be a great buck to kill if I get the opportunity.

I've always had a fascination for the big 6's myself.

Here a photo of one from several years back.

There's most definitely something about those Big 6's!! Here's the biggest 6 Pointer I've ever had the opportunity to see and harvest. I had him in range on 3 different hunts, but let him walk. The 1st sighting I refrained so that my son could possible have the opportunity at him as he was joining me the next day. The 2nd, I determined this deer was "only a 6" and was just amazed at watching him. The 3rd time he was at 300 yards and I wasn't totally comfortable with the shot, so didn't take it. This happened in 2015 and I didn't get the opportunity to hunt him last year. I can only imagine how big he may have gotten or may still be.

A B-I-G 6 is for sure a pretty animal. Typically I would never shoot one and thus far I haven't. However... one of the few bucks from the past that I regret not shooting was a huge 6. I had him dead on his feet twice and my step son did once and we let him walk. When I finally decided to go after him I never saw him again. Body wise he was 1 1/2 times bigger than any other deer I saw him with, had a 24" spread, 14" tines, and 6.5"-7" bases with the mass carrying all the way up. As far as I know he was never killed.
