Any age guesses on this big 6? He was seen numerous times in the daylight last year and was actually shot at once but lived to tell the tale. I have an educated guess at his age but wondered what everyone thought.

I seem to be seeing an increase in mainframe 6 & 7-point 3 1/2's. Many add relatively small 7th/8th points in another year or two, and some add "stickers" at maturity. My assumption is those 8 to 10-pt 2 1/2's are simply killed off at a higher rate, while those 6 & 7-pt 2 1/2's are allowed to walk more often, and become 6 & 7-pt 3 1/2's.
