RE: Age & score this deer
OK, now that I've heard from some of the "Deerologists", I figure it's time to come clean. The buck was green scored at 135 3/8ths and was aged at 5.5 years based on his teeth.
It's most definitely the same deer in the second night time pic- but the
angle of his head is changed, so you don't see the rightside G4.
We have hundreds of pictures of this buck- from being in velvet in May, right through velvet shed/hard horns last month and since then.
I posted this because my buddy & I thought he was a 3.5 year old all summer while reviewing pictures of him- and like I said- we had hundreds.
It was a lesson in humility for us yesterday, so I thought it would be a worthwhile exercise for folks here as well.
