That's an average 2.5 if I ever saw one.
Nope. Here's a pic of a 2.5 where I hunt.

Here's a 3.5 that I passed on in November. He was taken by another member on the farm and weighed 220 on the hoof and scored 133".

That's what I was thinking. Most 2.5 that I see around here are about that size.

Now that guy has some great potential. He'll be a stud in a year or 2.

I live just north of Louisville, but I don't think that is where the picture was taken, he said western,kentucky. But Anyway I have seen bucks of that caliber right behind my house. Can't wait to get my cuddeback. I also have a farm in Palmyra, Indiana that yields some 150" 160" class bucks. KEVIN my father in Law hunts near Ramsey and shot 145" 9 pointer last year and saw some equal or bigger this year, just could not get a shot off.

looks quality, in all respects let him grow and he'll be a hoss. You can identify him by the angled rack.

Not exactly sure what you mean by the angled rack comment.

The owner of the land has a 130# minimum which means that there are some monsters on it. We have a one buck limit here in KY and the rut hadn't even kicked in when I had the opportunity. Well as it turns out there wasn't much of a rut and the acorns kept the movement down so I didn't see anything bigger. That's ok, I wouldn't have shot him on the last day anyway. I know there's bigger ones out there and that's why I'm paying to be a member there.
