So, What Would You Say...?

Its cool seeing them get that old. I was fortunate enough to kill a 10 year old buck last year that I have sheds and tc pics from 2012 on as well. We estimated he stayed within 10-12'' each year until I killed him.

I would be curios to know your “tell”. I’m horrible other than looking at horns to tell if it’s the same deer. Without out any history and a couple pics he would be a little tricky. A ton of old man features with a 3 year old body. I had seen all of the previous pics over the years so i had a pretty good idea of who it was. So question is would you shoot him if you saw him? Not sure where your other buck came from.

Besides brows and frame shape...

He’s had these little defining characteristics through the years.

Yeah i see them now and the nose would be a easy one. I fly through pics because i am impatient so I need the easy signs.

at this point I'd let him live out his life. he escaped you for however many years, and I don't see him doing much breeding.

I’ve killed my one buck in this county. He’s safe from me at least.

Hell you say that like him breeding would be a bad thing. Did you see his width at 5.5? Combined with the right doe, I'd say give it hell old man!

I don’t think he will live another year on his own. He looks 7 to 8 yrs old definitely going down hill
