8 + year old buck

This buck was most likely never a monster, but was definitely bigger at one time. He was in his prime several years before I took him out. Any deer that is this old is a trophy no matter the horn size. Just smarter than your average.
He did the same as most of the big deer I have come in contact with. He skirted the brush line around the feeder picking up does. One hot doe got him out long enough to get a shot.
Like I said, not the huge buck, but double eye guards and some good trash. Extremely heavy horned, and a really nice old gray face. It was hard to get a good age on this one but he is definitely 8+.
By the way, this is my daughter two years ago. She killed her first deer at age 6. Ill post some pics of it later...

Nice deer.

Good looking buck

I like the character. Nice old buck there

Good buck

He was a good one! Nice high rack with good mass.

Nice one

Very nice deer, age makes him a true trophy plus he still has impressive head gear. Book or not he definitely qualifies as trophy.

Yep, old ones are trophies no matter the score.

Nice mature buck.

Love the mass and height.
