That's my plan I would love too. This is my 2nd year bow hunting and I have a feeling I would be shaking so bad I may not be able to make that happen.
I would say hes at least 5.5 yr old and every bit of 170+ that deer has great mass which will go along way! Only way he wont hit 170 is if his right side is only a 4pt side, if hes a 5x however many on the other side then he will go 170+ easy
I agree with Rutin, if he's a 5x5 he's definately in the 170's. Even if he is a 4x5 he'll still gross real close to the 170 mark, beautiful deer! Hope to see some kill pics in a few months!!
I hunt a piece of ground near Clatonia, I'm through there once or twice a week during the season. Good luck with the buck, he is a slammer!
