How many 4.5 or older have you killed in last 10 years?

[adrenalin]

One for sure.

Well over 4 years old.

Started deer hunting five years ago.

Dressed weight 250.

Shot 10/16....between bedding and food source.
60 yards with 30-30.

Come on Zap 5 years ago. That pick up looks like it's from 1980!

Looking back at the last 10 years is depressing for me... I may have more than the two I mentioned, but I think they were just large 3 year olds... Most of the older deer I shot were between the mid 1980's thru 2000... After that the WDNR started handing out unlimeted tags and big buck sightings went down for me dramatically.

I can't say any of my bucks are over 4.5 for sure other than this one. We cross sectioned his front teeth and got 5.5 based on several people counting and a few different pictures.



The rest I am saying 4.5 or older based on body size, head/skull structure, tooth wear, etc






This deer I cannot say for sure because he's relatively small in the antler department, but he had very very worn down teeth, a large body, and his skull had a huge roman nose on it when I had it euro mounted. The same can be said for Dinkasaurus after his skull was boiled.

Holy COW(S), Muddy!

Congratulations on taking so many FINE bucks!

I saw this pic before and I was gonna ask. Was that deer zebra striped, or is that some camera effect?

Spysar....it's the sunlight effect. His skin was loose, "I guess". He really wasn't a BIG buck. I figure 175#'s. One thing's for sure.....he wasn't a zebra!

Merry Christmas, guys.

[muddy]

Thanks. And I can't add, I voted 5 or 6 and posted 7.

If we counted does into the equation it'd be interesting to see where the numbers would go. I have shot at least 4 does that had teeth worn down even with the gums. Those witches took some work.

I can't even find a 4.5 year old doe....

[Uncle Lou]

If we are going by body size of over 250 lbs then maybe 2. Both does. One in MI and a mule deer in NE. Here is a blurry cell pic from 2008 NE. The MI doe I finally found a pic last year (one of them pics that isn't on my puter). She was huge, think I shot her in 2001.



Longest shot I ever did with the MZ, 202 yds with the TC Omega. First year scopes were legal in NE MZ, yeh that is a scope ring I am wearing. That little pile of rocks is where I shot from.
