Right now is the best time to scout for next late season! I started a week ago. Here is the result of those efforts. I don't know what to say. I am speechless. I am also adding a photo of another buck that should be a real bruiser next season. Hopefully these guys make it through the winter and we can see what they become next year.

I may never see this buck after this year but it is cool getting pics of him. It is very motivating knowing these giants are out there.

Some outstanding animals! I think that last buck given a couple years could really turn into a masher :tup:

It becomes difficult to distinguish age beyond 4.5 years to all but the most trained eye. However, the non-typical is 4.5 at a minimum and I would guess older. He doesn't have that well conditioned race horse look that a 3.5 year old usually has and though you can't see it as well in his photos his legs appear shorter than a 3.5 or less and not out of proportion for his body. At this point his antlers are probably close to as large as they will ever be. Best case scenario it is reasonable to expect 15-20 inches difference between this year and next year. That being said he could be much smaller or much larger depending on how this 7-8 months treat him.

He has that box frame to him that I love and he is a young deer my guess is a 3 year old buck. Looking at his face and body structure I don't think he could be older then that. He is just going to get wider/taller and pack on some mass and throw in a few extra points for good measure :chuckle: Its always fun to dream!

One of these days I will have to post a picture or 2 of a set of shed I have from a buck I called legend! I watched him winter almost every year in the same canyon on our place. Dam shed hunting tresspassers beat me to his sheds most years. I did find one side when he was 6 and then the matching set when he was 7! then never saw him again after that winter. Always showed up from the mountains late after everyone else. I love to watch deer grow! Its one of the coolest things when you have history with a animal. I was always happy to see him and never had any desire to shoot him even though he was a monster. He was just a majestic buck that I loved having around!

I'd say the nontypical is five and a half.  He's best years are still ahead of him.  He'll be better next year.   :tup:

Man those nontypical Whitetails sure are cool looking!   :tup:
When you see the third, thin the herd.
Right now I'm somewhere picking up sheds.

I like that second pic.. looks like fur hanging off his sticker ;)  I sure hope you get him on cam this summer..really interested in seeing him next year..I think he gets bigger..I dont think hes reached his max potential as some said hes 5 1/2..my guess to..he doesnt have that long face yet.

Ill disagree on the second buck...he'll never grow a g4 on the one side and I have watched to many bucks like this over the years..Id be surprised if he grew 10" in his lieftime
