RE: whats the best way to age a deer by looking at it?
bodycompositionfirst...thenantlers.... works for me
The more deer you look at over years of hunting, scouting, filming..studying in general in your home area...gives you afirm grip on what is normal in your area for age class..After 4.5 years old here..they usually look good!
I was talking to a good friend from HNI last night on the phone..Hes from NY and is out here in Idaho hunting..anyway like he and I discussed..there is no guessing when a true big boy walks out...You just know it!
