Title: See you next year...I hope
Post by: passing-thru on October 10, 2009, 10:15:45 AM: My deer season may have ended early(Sept 3rd Archery) :archery_smiley: but that doesn't stop me from "shooting" a few more more this year..I took these pics of a nice little buck in an area that Iv always thought should hold deer but never took time to scout. I saw several deer in the area including this guy :drool: ...Hes a little young I think, but next year I think he will be quite the trophy..Iv never been good very good at ageing deer but I suspect this one is around 2 1/2..Let me know what you think

Post by: BLUEBULLS on October 10, 2009, 02:13:42 PM: It looks like it may be a bench buck. A lot of the Bench bucks we watch top out about that size (antler wise). I'd also say 2.5 or 3.5 but he does have a pretty good "V" chest which can mean older buck. Go kill him next year and fill us in.

Post by: georgia redneck on October 12, 2009, 10:31:43 PM: I agree looks like a bench leg. looks like some of the bucks i have taken out of that area. Nice young buck though next year probably won't just be shot by a camera ;)

That forky looks 2.5 years old. Half year, button buck. At 1.5 probably a big spike or tiny fork. At 2.5 decent forky.
