Personally, I think he is 2.5, maybe 3.5 at the oldest. He's long legged, no girth in the belly or chest and a long nose. This is on a farm that I own and while not necessarily a requirement, I prefer them to get to at least 4.5 before we kill them. He could be a really good one with a little more age.


If you think that's a two year old you'll never kill a deer there.


We've killed plenty of mature bucks on this farm. That 8 point aint even close to being mature. Hell, my 14 year old son passed him twice before I did. He knows he's not mature. Thanks for your insight though. Very valuable.
