Well I would say in that pic that Bruiser was a 150 class deer at 3 1/2 years old. I could definately see him being that buck with two more years of growth but I don't know for sure if it is him yet..still waiting on the pics. He definatly has the environment to grow and has plenty to eat year round with very limited predators. But we'll see. You are right about the poor shot placement. The taxidermist said he hit him almost in the ass and that buck went about a mile away to the store.
