Title: last year and this year pics
Post by: huntnnw on November 15, 2012, 06:53:21 AM: Its always interesting to see bucks return year after to year to see how they grow one year to the next and also to get a better age on them as well..pretty hard to age whitetails after 4.5+ How old do u think this buck is? I think hes 5.5 this year

remember, milo hanson's world record typical was 3.5 years old...... can't judge a bucks age by horns....... having said that, his body shows complete maturity. lets hope he doesn't decline next year and you get a crack at him. amazing animal!
