140 Class 10 Point Whitetail Deer
The 140 Class 10 Point Whitetail Deer is one of the most desirable trophy animals for hunters. It refers to a deer with antlers that have ten points (tines) on each antler and whose antlers, when measured by Boone & Crockett or Pope & Young Club scoring systems, score at least 140 points. The record-holder for this category is an animal taken in Kansas in 2006, which scored 202 7/8 inches using the Boone & Crockett system.
Trophy whitetails are typically mature bucks aged 5 1/2 years or older with large body size and very symmetrical tine lengths. Although these deer may inhabit any area where whitetail populations exist, they tend to live in areas that provide superior nutrition and escape cover from hunting pressure. Hunters who pursue trophies must specialize their techniques, often targeting individual animals over several seasons before achieving success.
The 140 class 10 point Whitetail deer is one of the most sought-after trophies in North America. With an impressive rack featuring 10 points, this massive buck can reach up to 300 pounds and be as tall as 36 inches at the shoulder. Hunters everywhere have been known to travel great distances just for a chance at taking down such a magnificent animal.
As with any big game hunt, safety should always come first; however, if you are lucky enough to take home a 140 class 10 point Whitetail, you can be sure that your trophy will stand out from all others!
