Would you shoot this 6? - 10/14/13 02:46 PM
I am somewhat new to the ageing game. I am thinking this guy is probably not going to get much better, interested in opinions.

I'm not that good at aging either, but I'm gonna call him 3.5.
And yes, she's showing you what he's gonna be by now.

If your in an area that most bucks carry larger racks....YES........Good deer for a kid to shoot, if you have some young ones let one of them take him out.

I agree. He needs to take a nap.

So the general consensus seems to be give him a couple of years
...thanks for the feedback, all, confirms my thinking. He is showing up most days during the daytime, I expect that he will cross paths with a Montec G5 in the near future.

If he stepped in front of me, I'd shoot.

Yes, indeed I surely would. He isn't getting any bigger than that; needs to be culled.

4.5 maybe
I think I'd let him go as a science project. I like cool deer.

I think he is 2.5 ,3.5 tops and I wouldn't waste my tag on him. But for sure I would let one of my kids shoot him.

Are you sure? What was he last year? What does the rest of the herd look like? Do you feed protein? How many doe do you have? What does your age structure look like?

Yep, shot a five pointer (one brow tine wasn't there) like that last year about a year younger for the same reason. First year on the lease with a bunch of good bucks. Doing it over, I would have had my son shoot him, but he fell in my lap one day, and it was hard to pass up. He has a younger brother, unfortunately.
