What's your estimated age and score of that buck? Nice deer. Congratulations.

Your going to make me re-live this nightmare?
I had trail camera pictures of this buck and couldn't really determine how old he was short nose but huge body, great mass but not much tine length along with a poor frame. I had no idea what I would do if a shot presented itself and quite frankly hadn't given it much thought and of course he walks off a ridge and stands in front of me for what seemed like a half hour which turned out to be four or five minutes. I still couldn't tell how old he was. But, he looked good on the hoof and I was deer hunting not preforming some study on deer age.
He gave me a 7 yard shot, went 50 yards, plowed through about 25 turkeys and piled up in a creek.
I still don't know how old he was but if someone made me guess I would say 3.5 now. But, who knows. He used a Meder 900 form which is his biggest form he makes but tooth wear and nose length seemed to be that of a younger animal.
The one thing I do know is he isn't going to get any older now...
But I can't even begin to imagine what he would have looked like at 6.5 if he was indeed 3.5.
