Topgun, reason why i said that is because down south there bodies are a lot smaller. Up north here as you should know, our deer are a lot bigger. Hunted with a taxidermist and he told me the bigger the body the older the deer in most cases, along with there face, how big the hindquarters are, and especially the sagging gut. SO with that being said, im not used to aging deer with smaller bodies. No doubt that is a phenomenal buck! I'd def. shoot it.
