    Age I'm guessing 3-3.5... I have no clue on how to judge rack size from pics. Lol :) I know he's not a beast but he's definitely a super nice deer for my area.

    He's a nice buck for my area and I'm just hoping he gives me a shot at him this season. :)

    He's yours, good luck sticking him.

    He's beautiful, a LOT of potential for such a young buck. If your area is low pressure, I'd feed the piss out of him, lime the food plots heavy and put in some mineral licks and hope he lives to 5 years old....Wait, I do that anyway...shoot away, lol.

    Yeah I would do those type of things if it were my land. Its private land but hunted and pressured a lot during the shotgun and muzzleloader seasons. I believe I'm the only bowhunter that steps in there. I can't wait to someday have my own chunk of land to manage and regulate. A dream of mine for sure.

    I would say he's about 3.5 years old and easily 100 inches. He's a great looking buck! Fire away if he gives you a shot!

    Well, you could always try to get the owners to manage QDMA and help you manage the deer a bit more as adopted land and let those guys get bigger. Sounds like they don't do anything but shoot the hell out of stuff but maybe I have gotten the wrong impression.

    Renting land is a cheaper option than buying....just saying. I know neither is easy to do though.
