Just got this buck on cam. He just showed up and I got him on 7 different cameras in two days. Very huntable buck.

You should let one of the kids shoot that young buck
Or let him go so he can grow.

Can't tell a lot by that one pic, but what is he, 3 1/2?

I've got close-up video of him broadside. 4 1/2. He was actually around last year as 3 1/2 year-old 9-point.

Nice buck. Good luck on him.

Don't be a game hog, let your daughter or some other kid "harvest" that one

Ha! I'll let everyone else fight over the little 11-pointer!

The above buck and these other two are my primary targets so far:

I'd say with that target rich environment you have very good odds!

 

[TheLBLman]

Right now, I don't have a "target" buck. Just hoping for an intruder to show up that meets the standard

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

The 10 would get a pass with the two big mainframe 8's around!

 

[Hillbilly Hunter]

The one 8 has an interesting e tra point at his bade. Cool buck!

How do you not have a bazillion mature culls?

I'm being serious... 3/4 of my mature bucks are culls. And the top quartile of mature bucks won't break 135.

Never seen such high grading of young bucks as what's been going on past 3 years.

Here's a newcomer. I'll kill his ass if he shows up.

That deer should be pulling a sled!

I've hunted TN now for 10yrs and not once have i seen a 135" deer in person or on camera. Got a couple on camera that might bust 125" but so far biggest I've killed was 123". A 30 minute drive north and deer are "normal" size. It's so bizarre how much variation exists in such close proximity.

It would blow your mind how many 110in 2.5yos and 125in 3.5yos we have. The larger antler deer just can't survive till 4.5. Only the 85on 2.5s and 105in 3.5s make it.
