See you next year...I hope
« on: October 10, 2009, 10:15:45 AM »
My deer season may have ended early(Sept 3rd Archery)   :archery_smiley: but that doesn't stop me from "shooting" a few more more this year..I took these pics of a nice little buck in an area that Iv always thought should hold deer but never took time to scout. I saw several deer in the area including this guy  :drool: ...Hes a little young I think, but next year I think he will be quite the trophy..Iv never been good very good at ageing deer but I suspect this one is around 2 1/2..Let me know what you think
Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me
Genesis 27:3

I may not have alot but what I have I got honest.....

I'd rather be hated for what I am then be loved for what I'm not

Is it me, or are people getting dumber

Looks like anothr year or two will make that buck very respectable. I know what you mean about areas that look like they should hold deer. It's great when you check'em, find some bucks, and have the area all to yourself.

It looks like it may be a bench buck. A lot of the Bench bucks we watch top out about that size (antler wise). I'd also say 2.5 or 3.5 but he does have a pretty good "V" chest which can mean older buck. Go kill him next year and fill us in.

I agree looks like a bench leg. looks like some of the bucks i have taken out of that area. Nice young buck though next year probably won't just be shot by a camera ;)

4-point plus eyeguards, big chest and decent belly... 4.5 years old I'd guess.

That forky looks 2.5 years old. Half year, button buck. At 1.5 probably a big spike or tiny fork. At 2.5 decent forky.
