QB1 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I like to let bucks get to the ripe age of 4 years old but we all know how hard that is unless you own a serious piece of land. This property is 25 acres surrounded by hardwoods and farm fields...along with many other hunters. Chances are slim bucks like this make it through any year around hunting pressure. Anyway I am curious to hear what others think the age of this buck is and what it might score out of velvet? I am thinking 3.5 years old 125-130 inches.

BKhunter Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 No clue but he's a shooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phade Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'd guess pretty close to that - pretty typical race horse appearance of a three year old. I'd ballpark 125, but it looks like he has some brow kickers, etc. Even with the loss of mass after velvet comes off, I still think you have a decent scoring buck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SplitG2 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'M going to put him at 4 and will push 130-135 gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I would think he is 3.5, looks like a real dandy! Score is rough to estimate without him shedding. I would guess in the mid 130's possibly higher or lower depending on how his brow tines come out, they could still have some growth. Lets do this again after he sheds then again when you get your hands on him, sounds like a good game plan! Good luck! Hope to see you in pics with him later! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moog5050 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I wouldn't pass him. That's about all I know for score. Good luck. Would be killer to shoot him in velvet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmandoes Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 i'm going to say 121. i don't see enough mass or tine lenght for him to be higher than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup low 120's. Short Tines and maybe 17 wide? 18 Tops? Biz this is what i was taking about on your cam's? Most times at least one decent buck shows himself?

chiefbkt Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I'll go with the majority here, 120's gross, looks like a 3 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ny hunter Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 He is a shooter for sure.You can get a tape on that rack when you nail him.........Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB1 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 2 weeks from first pics of him. Looks like his main beam are a little longer/closer to touching a tips compared to pics from 7/31. Also got this funky little guy...guessing some sort of injury is the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawdwaz Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Not many 4.5 year old bucks seem to get killed. Purty rare.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
