Frankie I’m not suggesting what you should do but personally I would have killed that deer both two years ago and last year. He is what he is and isn’t going to become anything different.

Far as age class of bucks go, I like to compare them to the growth that happens in people.
1 yo buck: similar to a 7-8 year-old young athlete.
2 yo buck: similar to a 10-11 year old young athlete.
3 yo buck: comparable to a 13 to 14-year-old athlete after they have hit puberty.
4 yo buck: comparable to a 17 and 18-year-old athlete that is long, tall, mostly skeletally mature, but still gangly.
5 yo buck: the same athlete that now has had a few years in a college weight program and has added a lot of muscle mass.
6-7 yo buck: that same athlete once he has finished college and is playing professional ball, fully filled out and fully mature.

Willy ,,, had I see that one I would have killed him .

One time I did see him I almost shoot him out of season.

I was helping mom in the yard on Feb the 2nd and him and 4 does were standing about 100 yards away . I was not happy .

Blue tounge got him and a few more the next summer. .. I guess ?????

I'm noticing some bucks only showed up for pictures in very late Jan and very early Feb . Year after year .

A few just one time and at day time .

I wish I could get into another hard drive but I guess damn thing went bad. Pc see it in cmos settings but windows won't .
