I don't think this deer makes AR's. Could you pass on him?

What do you think about age. I know...who cares?...but I'm interested in confirming my own guess. North central/eastern county close to the OK line.

Get an OK license, shoot him and then drag him across the line and tag him
Looks to be a 3.5 or 4.5 yr old in this pic.

WTH do morals have to do with this deer?
Legal dillema? Maybe.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 04:15 AM
I guess if we dont hear back he was 12 7/8"? Best of luck and hope to a pic with you smiling ear to ear.

Pull the trigger

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 07:32 AM
Great looking buck. I think he makes ARs. He has tall tines and it makes him look less wide than he actually is.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 10:28 AM
^^^^this
Also his ears are in the alart position so he's gonna be wider than you think.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 03:54 PM
Looks legal to me! He's definitely outside the right ear, although I can see how you could question the left.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 04:09 PM
He would be toast if I saw him.

Shooter.
So shoot.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 05:09 PM
3.5 yrs. A whole bunch of potential right there.
Here is how I determine age in this case
Round eyes <= 3.5 yrs
Squared Rump <= 3.5 yrs
Darkend Tarsal gland >=2.5 yrs
Upturn at belly and rib cage<= 3.5

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 06:30 PM
I'll bet that deer is 14 iches or better???

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 06:56 PM
shoot!!
Posted By: Justin T
Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 07:53 PM
I'd say 4.5 on that buck. Looks sucked down and makes him appear a bit younger.

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/23/11 09:14 PM

Re: Moral Dilemma - 12/26/11 07:47 PM
Great looking buck. I'd guess 3.5, maybe even older. I think he is wide enough to put down for sure. Best of luck!

He made it through the season after two narrow escapes from a couple of our other guys. Hope to find some sheds.
