Young deer with serious potential
 

Check out the pic of this 1.5 year old buck!

Looks like an avearge healthy 1 1/2 old.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

It is rare for us to have a 1 1/2 year old that nice around here.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

That buck is a beaming picture of health! That is as good as it gets where I hunt whitetail in oklahoma. Nobody lets them get too big. Purely horn hunters. Seing that picture makes me wanna just do a doe hun this coming year to help the smaler ones have a chance to get bigger. EJ

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

we get 1 1/2 that big around here, fairly common.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

That's an average 2.5 if I ever saw one.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

yep that's for sure. give him another year or two, and he'll be a dandy!

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

Where was that shot taken , ShadowAce ?
I don't live far from you and I rarely see one that young have a rack like that . Usually it would be at least 2-2.5 YO to have one that size .

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

That's a quality 1.5 year old at least in my area of PA, and I agree, potential is there. Here's hoping your arrow finds him two years from now.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

Wow that thing is very symetrical I hope you have the chance to harvest him in later years.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

Dang, he is nice but it will be heck passing on him next year if you get this chance! ;)

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

Nope. Here's a pic of a 2.5 where I hunt.



Kevin1--It was taken in Western Kentucky.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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".

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

why did you pass on that deer....i assume that was taken on private land just wondering how much land is there

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

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.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

I would guess the deer in the pic is most likely 1 1/2 and possibly even 2 1/2 but of course I would be guessing just like everyone else. In any case it sure appears to be a young deer with a lot of potential. Nice pic Shadowace!

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

This buck broke one of his beams off this fall so he made it through the season. I can't wait to see him next year.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

Nice buck. Was he passed on during the season? Are you keeping cameras out? He will be very nice come next season.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

i could have shot him twice actually. once during the rut with the bow and once during the gun season. he broke his one beam off right above his browtine early in the season so I let him pass.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

we have another 8pt buck just like him but with smaller browtines. not sure if he made it though since he stayed on the border of our property more.

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

how much land is there

RE: Young deer with serious potential
 

These are some great pictures of some awesome deer.
