RE: Taxidermist Gives me Details on my Deer
I am very proud of this deer. The reason I ask questions is this:
In recent years, a lot of emphesis has been put on a deer's age. I would like to get a feel for the age of the bucks on our property. Many bucks are in the 140-160lb range. This one was much bigger but only sported a 6 point rack. However, the 6-point rack had a much bigger frame than many 8-point frames I've seen up there. Just wondering if I'm shooting young bucks or bucks with a couple of years under their belts. I liked it better when deer were judged on their racks instead of their birthdays.
