In my logbook, I classify anythingaround 100" or betteras a nice buck. This year, I saw 11 nice racksfrom the stands. "Mature Buck" is a relative term around here.

One night in Ohio, I saw what looked to be a really good deer (potentialPY buck) cross below me, but it was dark, and I only saw him for maybe .5 seconds. Other than that, I'm comfortable saying that I killed 2 of the 3 nicest racks that I saw from the stand this year.

As for age: All those deer were in the2.5-3.5 yrsage range.
