Post by: SHANE(WA) on August 19, 2009, 10:09:45 PM: LOL Too damn funny that deer at MAX is 3, the neck is tiny, his eye to nose measurement is all u need to see, all mature whitetails will have at least 7" measurement. also antlers show nothing of a regressing buck, no width or short tines or mass that come typical with old regressing bucks, the front shoulders and brisket are all signs of a young buck. I am guessing just well fed :chuckle:

Post by: alwinearcher on August 19, 2009, 10:54:28 PM: I agree shane. when i first saw him the gnarly bases made me think he was old, but once i look at his body and face, i relized he is prob 2 1/2.. i cant wait to see him in 3 years though
