    Guys, in the last 11 days I have gotten more than 200 pics of deer off my new land. 14 different bucks. I am more than happy with he size of the bucks that are there.

    Here are the top three bucks.

    I've also got 3- 2 1/2s , 3- 3 1/2s and 4 1 1/2s.

    What do you think?

    Jeff, the above bucks are not 2 1/2s. ;)

    Yeah, I'd be really happy too!

    And that doe is a monster! That is the one I'd be curious as to her age although that might surprise us.

    So, as soon as you nail that property, hang a stand for me. LMAO. :cool:

    I find that second buck interesting.

    Either a 3 year old with a REALLY thin body..

    Or a 2 year old with a REALLY big neck...

    Likely a 3 year old though. Nice pics.

    These deer are in hill country. They have a different build than their flat land cousins. I've noticed that the deer in hill country are a bit shorter in body length, have barrel chests and narrow rear ends. They are built for running up and down hills. They are generally lighter in body weight than their flat land cousins as well.

    Duke, thanks for the comments........... I believe that the 2nd buck is a 4 1.2.
