    Does he live up to his name? How old do you think this buck is? By the neck, brisket and belly, he's probably the biggest body deer I've ever got on camera.

    not big by MN standards but he sure could be from your area.
    looks like he's got some age to him.

    Definitely some age on that guy. I'd say from that pic he is at least 5.

    I think that's a big body for a buck in most areas. Five years old or so sounds right.

    He hasn't slipped up during the day light as of yet, not on my cam at least. Maybe during the rut I will have a crack at him.
