What is a ten-point buck?

A ten-point buck refers to a male deer, specifically a white-tailed deer, that has ten antler points in total, which are counted as tines (the projections on the antlers). In typical deer hunting terminology, points are defined as any tine that is at least one inch in length. The term is often used to describe the maturity and size of the deer, making ten-point bucks highly sought after by hunters. The number of points can vary by region and hunting regulations.
