I aged him a 3 1/2, I have yet to see a buck at 3 1/2 suddenly drop his horns in March then pick up with an enormous set in August. I may be proven wrong, but I was simply stating that on our properties, he would be taken out at 3 1/2, he has some potential but is nothing like the bucks we like to see or that we want to continue breeding the does. (Its a matter of personal game management)
These are the two that were taken this year. The second one was mistaken as a 4 1/2 year old and is the same age I believe that 6 pt to be, imagine what he would have looked like with another year.
It is however that 6 point is a great deer.
