Interesting genetics
« on: May 26, 2008, 08:52:29 PM »
This guy has interesting genetics.  What are you guy's speculations on this one.  Great genetics for a two point......*censored*ty genetics for a two point......will he be bigger this next year, or another big two point.   This particular area isn't know for big twos.
Maybe Timber and I will see him this fall.

No brow tines at all? I bet he'll be another 2 point this year.

given his mass and body size, i'm going with ray on this one...2 point for ever.

got enough body to suggest he might never see any more points IMO!

Mine kind of looks like a big blacktail but he is a long ways from that blood.

As heavy as he is Bone I seriously doubt he will be anything but a 2. Love those dark racks though, my favorite. Here is another that won't be growing any more.

One other thing about that buck Bone, he is safe which might explain his mass. As long as he stays a two odds are he will never be harvested. This is a classic example of what I was talking about a few months ago. A youth 2 point hunt would be fantastic IMHO, it would help cull these bucks out of the gene pool and give kids a real hunting opportunity other than does.

I'd be curious abouthte first one you pictured.  He is thin enough, he might be younger than we think he is.....body size he looks mature though.  He has no moss on his antlers at all.   Interesting how different gentetics play a role.  That last one I would dump and countthe eyeguard on it.  He looks like a trophy old *censored*.

Thanks for your input folks.  Glad to hear more.  Obviously its all speculation at this point.   This particular spot is known for its mass, and usually 4 points.   This guy acted mature, though he still looked farily young to me.  Seems like he is riding the fence.

the deer that bone posted looks like my first mule deer if you add an eye guard on his driver's side.

Looks like a young fella to me, I'll go with the great genetics in this case.  I'd bet he grows enough extra bone one of these years to wear a tag legally, if he doesn't get oopsed.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
