I see this buck often. I began hunting this property in the later stages of the rut. Basically, I screwed up. I passed 4 different bucks on this land because I thought they were too young. Turns out, they must have just been pretty rutted up, and leaned out from running does and traveling. Now, I'm getting photos of these deer and realize that I aged them all wrong. This guy is one of the ones I passed. He doenst sport more than 120" rack, but, I dont care- I want to shoot older deer. There are a lot of hills in this area, so I've bee using Gri22ly tactics. Hopefully, they help me tag out on one of these guys.
I'm with you guys. He appears to be 4.5yo or older, to me. This area isn't known for overly large bodied deer. He looks mean too, doesnt he ? Haha
That's the plan !! There are 3 bucks left on this property, that I'll shoot. There WAS 4, but one really nice 8 shed his rack, already. Thanks guys.
