hi everyone,

What does everyone think this deers age is and what will he score? He has been a regular visiter and my stand location. He looks young to me and it sure is hard passing up a 12 pointer.

thanks

Definitely has those TX Genetics...

Great buck...


Age? Hard for me to tell though he looks young...yet very developed... I will go with 2 1/2 years old and approximately 140" of antler.





GO GET HIM!

 

[BogeyMan]

He does look young 2.5 or 3.5, killer rack would be hard to pass

 

[pasoffes]

140ish

Have to agree with Seth, around 140 due to the beam length.
I would say around 2 1/2 yrs. also. Good looking buck, next year
he should be awesome. Pretty hard to pass on a 12 point tho.
Good luck this season.

 

[Seth the XSlayr]

Depending on your situation, I say SMOKE HIM!


If you will have an opportunity at this buck next season, wait. His antlers will definitely impove in mass / length if I am correct in his age...


BUTTTT I think I would shoot him no matter what.

 

[Terrortodadeer]

IMO i would have to say 2 1/2 years, about 140 class due to the beam length, great deer nonetheless! good luck on him

I could never pass that up, but he is a super deer in terms of future potential. I would say 140 ish as well. One thing to consider is that as bucks get past the 3.5 mark, they get increasingly harder to see during daylight hours. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

definatly a young deer....His back is still rounded and he doesn't even have much of a pot belly. I agree with the above...2 1/2 or so.

 

[Hoyt]

Very young buck for that rack..if I was ever going to let one grow he would be it.
He will have a monster rack in just a yr or two.

My exact guess also. Definitely looks young. He has the potential to be a true monster in 1-2 years. HOWEVER, he wouldnt see those 1-2 years if he came by me.

Man those TX deer are hard for me to judge age on sometimes, he looks really young to me too, I probably would have said 2 1/2 but he's got some awfully nice horns to be that young and a really unique rack!! He would not see his next birthday if he came by me within bow range!! '94

 

[ShedSeeker]

That deer needs 2 more years at a minimum. If you shoot him this year, you loose the potential to spread some outstanding genetics to your herd as well.

I agree.

Great pics and great buck btw.

 

[rodney482]

140 ish

I agree 2.5 year old.

he has great potential

 

[Acoustic]

I agree.

Great pics and great buck btw.

Agreed two more years if its private land, nice genetics! Managed deer?

 

[Seth the XSlayr]

Looking at these pics again... that is a flat out super rack!


I could only IMAGINE what he would look like in 1 1/2 - 2 more years!

 

[Albert]

Let...

Him Walk. He's too young and imagine how many does he can breed in 2 years! In just a few short years you'll have lot's of bucks with those genetics running around.

 

[Stealthman]

He looks young to me as well.......Id say a 2 1/2 yr old buck with great potential!!!!
He could be a "BOONER" in a couple years! Can you pass on him????

 

[Stanley]

146 needs another year

 

[Big Country]

I am used to judging midwestern bucks, but my guess is this guy is 2 1/2 years old.

If he is somewhere that you feel he has a relatively good chance of surviving......I would give him two more years to breed and grow.

He sure is a dandy.....imagine what he will be in another two years! :tongue:
