RE: Bet you can't age this deer
My very first deer was a 11pt. buck, the first legal hunting season in Illinois (1957). The biologist estimated him at 5 1/2 yrs.His back teeth were practically gone. Field dressed he weighed 200lbs. I don't remember a toupee, but his coat was quite gray with a lot of white facial hair. There is only one bad point about starting this way; I have spent the last 50 years trying to top that buck.
