Nice shot - around my neck of the woods we would call this a decent 4-point whitetail buck...

HI Jack,
Hmmm...unless I'm missing seeing a tine on each antler, in my area this would be called a 3-point buck (in this area the count comes from one antler only). There might be a fourth point there (just above the buck's right ear), but hard to see (and hard to determine if it's long enough to be called a "point").
Anyway...nice light and you've included enough of the habitat to give it good "context" (and that habitat looks just SO typical of where you'd find them). The grasses that overlap the body don't bother me a bit, but I can see some arguing that the one crossing the head between the eye and snout is "distracting". It took me several minutes to notice it, so for me it was a very minor distraction only (at worst).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...
