Im trying to learn how to gauge deer quality early on. I realize all of the reasons why this is difficult, and its only may etc etc, but I have 2 older looking deer that seemed to be producing good early growth, what are you opinions on them, and even what are your opinions on judging deer so early?
The only distinction I think one can make this early is.... Small, nice, or GD. I would say those are going to be good bucks by any measure. I have the same bucks year after year (sans death) and to help you I'll post my 1. Last year I had him at high 140 and hoping for 160+ this year Velvet can be very very misleading though
I think if you see growth out beyond the ears in May, he's gonna be a goodun! Blessings.......... Pastorjim Sent from my RCT6703W13 using Tapatalk
does anyone have photos they can compare from last year of a may/june july deer to a sept/oct deer? that would be interested
I've seen WAY to many bucks explode early only to stagnate sooner than expected and vice/ versa. You will not know what will he will become untill July 25 the or so.
