    What do you think about this 11 point? How old would you guess he is and would you consider him a shooter or would you pass on him this year? Would love your thoughts. Thanks!

    He is a main frame 8 with two nice brow tines and a split in his g2 i believe. I believe that would make him an 11 pointer but i could be wrong. Thanks for the response man.

    That deer shows up with zero backstory or history for me I actually in my area am likley thinking PHENOM of a 2 year old. I don't see even that muscular nearly all framed out structure of a 3 year old...it is rare though for such a young deer to start throwing "junk" but is what it is.

    I don't know if I'd shoot him...this year probably yes, massively down year and if he was in that top 10/15% of bucks in the area then he'd be on the list.

    However, he is like some other young but could be great deer....I hope to not see him or if I do that it just doesn't feel right and I can pass him and shoot him with the camera only.

    nice younger buck, 3.5yr old, on the state land I hunt he'd be dead. On private, I'd pass .. hopefully he'd makes it thru this season as he'll be real nice next ..
