Age please

Unread postby buckhunter31 » Wed Dec 29, 2010 3:43 pm

I just got a pic of this guy today and was wondering what everyone thinks of the age. The area i got the pic is on the edge of public and private. The area gets pounded by gun hunters and the nearest ag fields are 10 miles away. I am thinking he is 3.5. The genetics in the area are not very good.

Yes, I would agree with 3 1/2. He looks like some of the bucks we see in northern WI........good body size but not much for racks.

He's pretty full in the body. I think he's all of 3.5 maybe 4. Those northern bucks are generally chunky though.

He's all "haired up" which makes it hard to tell. Body looks 3 1/2, head looks 2 1/2....

He looks like a 3 1/2 yr old to me too. Looks alot like a big woods Yooper buck. Trail cams can be very deceiving though.
