TN Whitetail Freak, why do you think this? I have thousands of pics of these bucks here. If it did spook the one running with the blur, he came back. I'm not sure he was spooked at all. I have many pics of the larger bucks pushing the smaller one's around.
My guess on age is 6.5 or 7.5. I have pics of this buck for the last 4 years and he was near 2.5 or 3.5 four years ago. My wife shot at him with a muzzleloader three years ago and we both saw him regularly with a bow two years ago. Last year we never laid eyes on him. Hopefully this year he will make a mistake. I only have pictures of him in the light one evening and that was last week.
