That is a PIG of a deer, he has a 7.5 yr old body and a 2.5 yr old nose ?
Wow.. if you guys every kill that thing I'd love to send a tooth off to have it aged..
I had a 9 point buck I shot under after hitting a weed a couple years ago, on video ( why do you always get perfect video of yoru misses ? LOL) but he had a huge body like this, but I was sure he was just 2.5 or 3.5.. maybe 130 gross...
Now I did shoot him for the body size.. I try to shoot bigger bodied mature deer, I love the racks but as long as they are over 125" and I got my bow its a shooter
you can just look at the jaw and see how old it is...no need to send off a tooth..
