I've had a lot of people age mine at 2.5... But I have never seen a 2.5y.o. with that much antler around here... But, it doesn't really matter to me. Congrats again on your mature buck.
Thank you everybody that i didn't get to thank! I should have his mount back in late december before Christmas since it was the first at the taxidermist. Ill be sure to post a ton of pictures.
My guy is actually a friend who only does 10 or so a year. Hes a competition guy and has won a few awards.
