  1. Mam... ;) ...Ahh I wish he could make it but not here for sure.....We are elbo to elbow in both bow and shot gun...and if he doesn't change his ways soon being a day time roamer he's sure to hit the dirt...ever 6pt I passed on during archery ...was shot during gun season :(

    Its unfortunate that all young deer are shot, but you are still very fortunate to see a buck like that hanging around. Hes a shooter in my book, hard to pass that up. Good luck.

    Not that I'm trying to push QDM you should take whatever buck you are happy with at the end of the day but the statement that every deer you pass up gets shot or the gun pressure etc. takes its toll can't be all true unless you have the mega genetics and super minerals to have 100-115"  1 1/2 year olds. Somehow, someway, you have bucks that make it through or you wouldn't even have 6'rs.  That buck has found some way to make it to a age where he is a decent buck there is a good chance he could make it another season. I'm not trying to talk you out of harvesting a great deer just giving you the glass half full vs half empty point of view.  I have hunted pressured properties many times and been able to harvest mature deer where others have not that have had the if I let it go Joe Blow on the next property will pop it mentallity. I can assure you get lucky once but consistancy is not luck it's a fact adn leting him go so he can grow does pay off, you may not get that buck but it does put you in the woods when a rogue buig boy strolls through because once you are tagged out you won't be in the woods when other are not.  One thing is for sure the minute you pull the trigger that deer for sure has grown as big as he is going too.  That being said he is a geat looking buck hopefully you have the oppertunity to harvest him I look forward to seeing you hard horn pics this fall!  Good luck bud.

  2. He is a nice looking buck i would say 2 1/2 maybe 3 year old and based on what I see with rough 3"s I would put him in the 105-115 range.  He may put on some more mass and a bit more growth I don't think he is done yet we still have 2-3 weeks of prime growing time. I don't know what your management is or what the ground hold but he is a great deer to let walk and hope makes it another season he could be a P&Y stud next year.  Nice pics bud
