Deer hunting: Photos of 25 of the freakiest bucks on record in MS

White-tailed deer are things of beauty with graceful bodies and muscular builds. When you're talking about mature bucks , they become majestic with large antlers and tines that sweep upward.

But nature has a way of making every set of antlers unique. Some may have an odd number of points while others may have split brow tines or kickers sprouting off main beams or tines.

And then there are the absolute freaks of nature and Mississippi has produced plenty. A number of bucks have been documented with more than 20 points and one with 33. In the world of typical bucks, antlers scoring over 140 are generally considered trophies , but with non-typicals, a score of 200 won't make it into the top 30 on record and the largest non-typical on record in Mississippi has a gross score of 311 4/8
