RE: Size of huntable bucks?
Shot a 136lb 4.5y/o 7pt that taped out at 103....however 20mi away from where that deer was taken, there were MULTIPLE 170" 5.5y/o taken. One year and 70in of growth wasnt likely for the area I was in since at 4.5 he was only 103.
And for those saying only 136lb?....That was live weight. Towards the end of the rut. He was chasing when I shot him, but his neck was large, but slimmed waaaaaaaaay up in the body. Id say that fellow had spent the last 3 weeks of his life chasing every hot doe that came and went.
