    Age / Score

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to the forum. My family bought a place East of Lampasas about 3 years ago and we've been managing it since. ~350 ac high fence. Mostly bow hunt it. It's all native genetics and we've spent the past 2 years taking culls and getting the population down. We haven't taken any 'trophy' bucks off it yet. We're eyeing the buck in these pics for this year and debating whether he's mature enough to take or we should give him another year. I'm attaching 3 pictures from last year and 2 this year. He was a typical 10 last year with a kicker on his L Brow tine making him 11. This year I cant tell if he's got the same split or if the L brow is just bent. Let me know what y'all think on his age/score.

          5 and a little over 140. If he's in your HF - I'd roll the dice another year if you can.

            Hf for sure let him walk. I can't get him older then 5.5 and may see 4.5

            140 ish tops

              He looks 3 in last years pictures and likely 4 this year. I would let this deer spread his genetics in a HF place for another year or two, maybe more. If I am off a year and he is 5 this year I would still let him grow behind a high fence. Of course, there are guys on here that do this everyday and will have better info on herd management in a HF situation than me! Good looking deer for sure.

                Thanks everyone. Seems like the consensus is 5.5 and 140" and that we should give him another year, if not 2
