With this method you can quickly determine that a buck with two standing normal points per side is a 4x4 or 8-pointer, and with three standing points per side he is a 5x5 or 10-pointer, and so on, with the exception of Coues' whitetail. Nearly all the bucks that make the records book have at least five normal points per side.

A Georgia hunter was recently lucky enough to take an 8-point buck so rare that most people will never see one in the wild. Of course, there is nothing inherently rare about 8-point bucks, but an 8-point with an all-white coat of fur? Now that's a once-in-a-lifetime deer.

From a whitetail management standpoint, this is the type of buck that is often called a management buck; he's at least 4 1/2 years old but only sports 8 points. A good buck, but for those aiming to improvement their herd he would be one to consider shooting this season.
