Title: Age this BT buck
Post by: AKBowman on October 31, 2022, 10:57:37 AM: I’m trying to determine if an area I’m hunting has bad genetics. I’ve gotten pics of older bucks that are fork horn. I’ve seen younger bucks in the area (in person) that were fork horn.

What day you guys on this buck?

Under or over 3.5 years old??

Well fed for sure, but not old. 3.5-4.5, my money says 3.5
