A trophy deer refers to the male animal of the species, a buck. A trophy buck is very hard to kill- they are generally older and much smarter than a younger buck. They are judged by body size (usually at least 180 lbs, preferably 200+) and the antlers, also called the rack. On a rack, each individual antler tip is called a point. If there are 4 points on each antler, it is an eight pointer. A trophy buck is usually at least a 10 pointer. There are also nontypical bucks, which have a mutated gene that cause the antlers to be shaped much differently.
