New guy moving in

[Columbia Scott]

This looks to be a 110" or so 8 pointer. He just showed up behind my stand the other day. The bachelor group of 3.5 year old bucks on the lease is starting to break up and their antlers are getting busted left and right (literally). This guy may be my best hope for an early tag. I may hunt him next weekend.

Is that an older buck? Idk how true it is but I heard the short snouts and "fat " faces clue to an older buck

 

[CAW]

That does not look like a young deer.

 

[Columbia Scott]

I think he's 3.5 years old. I'm not great at aging them on the hoof though.

no. their fore face grow as they age. old bucks have "roman noses". which if you ever seen a full blood italian, certainly aint short. young feller there

2.5 years old.....hard to age a deer without a broadside body shot. Older bucks have a swayed back and a pot belly. And like redblood said a long Roman nose. This is a young deer with tons of potential.

cool

 

[wayers]

good looking deer

 

[RiverBuck10]

good luck 3.5+

 

[darn2ten]

He might be 3.5, but no older. I'm going to say 95 to 100".

My guess is 2.5 year old, with good genetics. Short snout = young deer.
