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?

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

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? popcorn

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.
