    I had that droptine buck at 15 yards two different times. He is a very pretty buck, but still a little too young.

      I missed the droptine the 1st time I saw the pics. Had to go back & check


      BG, this is a beautiful piece of land. Good luck on your goals for it. I'll definitely be following, jealously!!! One day I would love to try and do what you are doing with my own property

        Nice droptine also!

        Just an opinion but I would cull the one I am talking about before the 2 you are after. Again just an opinion.

          Way to go, that had to have been tough. Hopefully he spreads those genes a few times.

            Here are some other bucks from last year:

            Very old buck. Has forked G-2's. We have pictures of him 5 years in a row. No one has ever seen this buck in daylight. We get pics of him all through velvet on trail cam and then he disappears until February every single year:


            3.5yr old 8pt:


            2.5yr old 8pt:


            1.5yr old 8pt:


            9pt:


            9pt:


            2.5yr old Non-Typical 12pt:

                Here is an old 8.5yr old 8pt buck my twin brother shot last year. We have pictures of this buck for the last 4 years and he was always a slick 8pt.

                He dressed out at 140lbs.

                      So you are saying to cull out a post mature 10 point before a 4.5-5.5 y/o 6 point?

                        Absolutely.....they may both be culls, but post mature has done his time. The 6 has good mass at least and may only be 2.5 yrs old....the old one looks like he has antlers of a 3.5 yr old (if that)

                        again just an opinion.....If it were my place, my son would be on both of em

                          what makes you say that 6 is 2.5? Not bashing, just curious!

                            I agree with you. I just like to hear other people's opinions. Thanks for sharing.

                              I would shoot all 3.....With that being said, I would definitely shoot the 2 he posted before he post mature 10 point. That 10 point could be a trophy to some people, especially a buddy who helps with the ranch or a family member.

                              He has 10 point genetics and the other is still an old 6 which is far inferior then a 10 IMO.

                              Both of those CULLS he posted are old enough to be declared CULLS with that top one looking pretty old and older then the bottom buck.

                              You sir have alot of different bucks and just looking at it, with that many bucks I bet you have alot of does.

                              I would lower the deer population overall to allow more groceries for all the deer and thus growing bigger antlers and bodies

                                By reading his write ups on the age of his deer. if these deer were At my place I would have different age guesses on ALL these deer, but I am making judgement from his known knowledge of his place.
