Is this guy ancient? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

Aggie07 · 12-04-2018, 08:12 AM

Hi guys. What do y’all think about this buck? He has a Roman nose, huge brisket and really fat body. Looks like sagging back and stomach as well.

I was thinking 6+ but just wanted to confirm.

Thank you,

Nathan

10-4 on that good buddy.

SB09 · 12-04-2018, 08:43 AM

6+ is exactly what I see. He shows multiple signs of that age class.

bowhunt3 · 12-04-2018, 08:48 AM

Big mature buck

Pstraw · 12-04-2018, 09:21 AM

looks 6+ to me also.

SFAbowhunter · 12-04-2018, 09:32 AM

Yup, he's mature!

wdtorque · 12-04-2018, 09:32 AM

He resembles a younger version of me. :-)
Mature for sure

Lawhunter · 12-04-2018, 09:33 AM

Certainly not the youngest deer in the woods

Sika · 12-04-2018, 09:47 AM

He certainly has a saggy brisket but he kind of just looks like a fat 4-year old to me. I'd have to see him in person. Either way, I say he's old enough to take out.

No real redeeming qualities to keep him around another year. Short beamed short tined 8. A legitimate “cull”

dustinztx · 12-04-2018, 04:14 PM

Yep, he has had a good life.

fishinguy · 12-06-2018, 12:09 PM

I would lean toward 5.5

Aggie07 · 12-08-2018, 05:45 PM

Thanks for all the input everyone. We have never seen him in person and only for a short period in October but we are looking out for him.

BIGTERRY75 · 12-12-2018, 02:54 PM

that third pic though, he must have been in colorado.

Codie · 12-12-2018, 03:03 PM

not sure about ancient, but definitely mature enough to put in the freezer

dipstick105 · 12-12-2018, 03:34 PM

Short wide head, lose skin on bottom jaw line, big leg bones, saggy brisket, short tined 8pt all signs that lead to 5/6yr old. AIM SMALL, SHOOT STRIAGHT AND GOOD LUCK

bear · 12-12-2018, 04:10 PM

TexaswBOWhunter · 12-12-2018, 04:24 PM

Yessir!

Mexico · 12-12-2018, 05:18 PM

He's not ancient, I consider ancient deer 9 plus but he's at least 5.

Longue Carabine · 12-15-2018, 11:44 PM

Ancient bucks get a sagging "chin"

oscare66 · 12-16-2018, 10:32 PM

5 1/2 year old

This is my thought as well

MDemel · 12-22-2018, 08:37 AM

muzzlebrake · 12-22-2018, 08:50 AM

He's obviously a corn hog. Been hanging around for all the free stuff too long. He needs to be laying in a cooler somewhere. He gonna be 5 or 6 +-

lovemylegacy · 12-22-2018, 11:21 AM

He is fat.
