    Looks like he broke 1 tine off from one pic to the other, so he lost 6-7 inches there. just about impossible to tell age from those pics. Need some side pics of the whole body. Nice looking buck though

    Actually, the tine is just cut off in the pic. Looks like it's broken, but it's not. I thought the same originally.

    Seen just a small fork horn this morning...decided to climb down and go grab a hot lunch, leave everything in the tree, get to the field and there is a nice fat doe standing in front of my blind, completely oblivious to me....I crouch down behind some bushes and snap a stick, spooks her enough to get her to trot into the woods, I get out to get my lunch, walking back in I jump a deer as soon as I cross the fence, blows once and runs, figure it was the doe, what ever, get to my stand, strap in, climb up, get situated, turn and sit down and bam, deer 20yds in front of me looking right at me....fork horn again, we have a staring contest for a few, then he goes about his business, got about a 3-4 min video of him working on a licking branch....
