yes I like tall ones too

yoteduster · Jul 7, 2020

I do too...

Yep. Awesome eye guards take a good/great buck and makes him something special.

I Seen a Cool Buck in the Book Cliffs Several Years ago that Had Double Brow Tines!

The Thing that was Cool was His Lower Brows were in Normal Position!

The 2nd Set were 5 or 6 Inches up the Beams from the First Brows!

I like them, but don't get hung up on them. Saw a buck last week (pic on here) with a double on one side. But if he's a big old stud with zero brow tines, I still like him.

Me do

Big ol’ eye guards are a perfect addition to a mule deer rack, especially if them G1’s are bladed and got character!

This just a nice heavy three point. The 4 and 5+ make him kind of cool

I like him !!!

I like big eyeguards! My 2 best...

This buck is from Idaho and has one 2-1/2" and one 3" eyguard.

This is a Kali buck both eyguards are 3-1/2" they help him bump the score into the 170's. The pic doesnt do a pretty nice mount justice. It was taken to show the eyeguards.

Not the best photo, it was late and we had a bit of a hike ahead of us. But if you look close this buck has some wicked eye guards. Colorado 3rd season unit 44.

Paul_Crawford · Jul 9, 2020

Either way for me.

My son won't pull the trigger if it doesn't have eye guards. Made a mistake in unit 33 one time. He shot a 28" that was slick, and cussed himself the whole time he was tagging it. pc

I prefer mass/height. (Give me a tall heavy buck any day). With or without eye guards.

SanJuan · Jul 9, 2020

I personally have a thing for eye guards. It just really completes the rack.

SDBugler · Jul 9, 2020

A buck looks bare without em!!!
There are a couple......

Shot this buck back in 1995. Hard to tell in this pic but his left G1 is 4" and bladed. If it wasn't webbed, it probably would have forked.

My son found this deadhead with one that was 6"+ and grew up like a corkscrew.

My best eye gauges that were not broken off.

twopointdn · Jul 10, 2020

Wish this one was not broken.

twopointdn · Jul 10, 2020

Both broken off but would have been sweet eye guards. I like eye guards and I don’t like when they are missing.

Long thin eye guards on my daughter's NV buck.

Mnbearhunter123 · Jul 21, 2020

Here's a buck we took in Idaho. The Eye guards were beast!

Mnbearhunter123 · Jul 21, 2020

Here's one we passed up that had awesome character

Lancetkenyon · Jul 21, 2020

My daughter's buck last year had a bladed double on the right.

Troubadour · Jul 21, 2020

NV shed. Still trying to find the match 2 years later. Sweet video Founder.

If you like long eye guards, do you count them as a point? Asking for a friend...

Scored as G1.
But no, a 4 point is a 4x4 with or without eyeguards.

Unless it's a whitetail. pc

Here is a buck I shot a few years ago in the San Juan. The eyeguards on the left side are five inches long and the one on the left is 4 inches long. The split one is my favorite
