The old, grey doe I saw last year had loose skin and she wasREALLY a very light ashengrey. She was being dogged by a 2.5 yr old buck....and to be honest....I could have shot either of them. I regret not taking the DOE!

The buck I'm referring to (from last year) was only a 5 pointer....and I remember posting that I thought he was an old guy and on the downhill side. Nearly everyone in the forum told me that color phase had nothing to do with age.

So....again...Duke's comments intrigued me.
