look at tick weeds deer from reelfoot his deer was 5.5 and it was 200 lbs 150 inch deer field dressed look at it and compare to cats that's the difference I'm talking about.

well catman I wasnt arguing that I can't be I just gave mg opinion which I'm entitled too. I just know testosterone is a steroid. makes swelling and bigger appearance
. I personally think during the rut the its harder to judge by the neck because I've seen deer with a lot of swelling that are young. I don't know why people get anal just a opinion its a open forum. and that is a good deer but think about it your hunting the same spot say if both deer are 5.5 what are the odds they have great genetics and both haven't really produced quality racks. county genetics and property genetics are quite different too. just casual William county had a big deer. at one farm doesn't mean every property on the county will. but in my opinion I think every property with quality habitat would at least have one monster that's dominant
just see to many killed not to. justice some properties consistently have multiple giants in the area that's good genetics. I'm just curious. how much did it weigh? and why didn't you just slit the jaw takes two seconds. I can rant too like other people gets annoying seeing guess this how olds this based on body body body. take the guess work out just look at jaw bone.

Looks like a classic 2.5 yr old to me

I've never seen a 3.5 or older with a neck that small this time of year
