Whitetail Buck

I have been taking hay everyday for the elk, and one of my trail cameras is set up watching the hay. I started getting pictures of this buck on January 1st. I have about 90 pictures of him. He dropped his antlers yesterday. I am anxious to go look for them but two more nice bucks are also hanging around. I want to wait until they drop their antlers.

That is really an amazing deer and some amazing shots. Is that a Blues buck? Huge for an 8 pointer...I love those huge eye guards.

Right on, I especially love that last shot, I could have a ton of fantasies about sending an arrow right into the pocket.
Thanks,

That is a really nice buck! He should be bigger this hunting season. I'm putting him in the 140's. Probably only 4 1/2 years old. He hasn't quite developed the pot belly and low back. Whitetails tend to look well proportioned at 4 1/2.
Their are quite a few big into QDM (Quality Deer Managment) down their in the south. Had a guy down their who owned a hutnig plantation tell me a few tips on what to look for when guaging a deers age. These may not apply here since they are not souther corn fed Whitetails but I thought I would share.
*In their first year or approx 6 month ( First Deer Season) you can tell their small and have buttons.
*In their 2nd - 3rd season or 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 they look kinda goofy. Their legs look longer than they should in proportion to their body. They also have waht I call a high belly.
*In their 4th season 3 1/2 years they start to fill out but still don't look well proportioned. .Legs are still a bit long,
*In their 5th season 4 1/2 years they are well proportioned and filled out.
*In their 6th season 5 1/2 years they start to develop a pot belly and their back starts to drop.
*In their 7th season 6 1/2 years they more than likely have a good pot belly going on as well as solid looking. This is usually the point when antler start to decline. Than again it realy depends on the heathe of the deer.

Those have to be some of the best trail camera photos I've ever seen. Great buck too.

I agree with Michelle on age and size of deer. He probably won't grow much more in his frame. He will start getting some more stickers along his bases, but he will probably be a solid four for the rest of his life. A Dandy 4.
