Trail Cam Pic
 
I was wondering how old you think this buck is. I've never seen one this big and keep in mind that I live in Nebraska and the place is surrounded by beans and corn.



And here is a pic of another younger buck for reference



I set up a ground blind about 30 yards from the pictures, so hopefully I'll be able to get him this year.

i'll take a stab at it. my guess is 4. his body is just huge. that or he's a fatty 3 year old. you sure those aren't the same deer?

Yep thats the same deer. My guess it 3.5 or 4.5 years old.

2.5 - 3.5 year old, same buck no doubt about it

Same deer, i'd say 3.5 prolly score 120

Tribal 09-23-2006 01:37 PM

RE: Trail Cam Pic
 
That deer scores a bit higher than 120. It sure looks to be the same deer and in the SAME exact spot from the fence post. Cool!

those are the same deer the brow tine gives it away probably 3.5.

Same deer. I think he's prolly either 2.5 or 3.5. I'm leaning towards 2.5 simply because he doesn't appear to have any sag in the back, his face is pretty slim, and his chest doesn't look exceptionally large. Thats my guess.

Same deer -3 1/2 years old - the chest hangs a little low to be 2 1/2.

Thanks guys. I didn't even notice the brow tine that looked the same. He looks a lot bigger in the first picture, but even if he's only 2.5-3.5, he would still be a great buck for my first bow kill.

Same buck and he has a BIG body!

My guess is that he is 4 years. 3 and a half at the least and 5 at the most. Very nice deer. Good pics, thanks for sharing.

Definitely the same buck, but i would guess him to be 3.5 years old.

that first camera added ten pounds (or fifty). he does look bigger at that angle. weird.

Pro-Line 09-24-2006 05:21 AM

I'd say a 120-125" 4yr old buck.

Nice fat deer!!!!

BTBowhunter 09-24-2006 05:53 AM

RE: Trail Cam Pic
 
Same deer alright, But what a difference the angle make! Between both pics I'd guess 3 1/2. He's filling out his frame but the pot belly and sway back havent started yet

mofireman 09-27-2006 09:27 PM

RE: Trail Cam Pic
 
No doubt the same deer!! I'm also saying he's 3.5 years old. But he certainly looks like he is very healthy.

Care if I hang a stand on that fence post?:D

Nice buck...amazing change in a year....think if you passed he could make it another? Or too much pressure?

jjantzen 09-28-2006 06:20 PM

RE: Trail Cam Pic
 
I'd wait if i could, but this spot is only a 1/4 mile from a highway. In the past two years, two huge bucks have already been killed in the same space, and the only way I want a third buck killed, is ifI shoot it. Here is the picture of the first buck that was hit, but somebody cut the rack off the second buck before I could get to it.



jachunter 09-28-2006 08:23 PM

Pay attention to the dates guys...These pics are 364 days apart. Same deer one year later..

I say 3.5-4.5

RDHunter 09-28-2006 08:31 PM

RE: Trail Cam Pic
 
The one in the top picture looks pretty big ( body wise ) and a nice size rack to, I would have to say close to five years in age.
The second buck is a little smaller but he's gotta nice rack as well ,I would guess he's about three years old.

Definitely the same deer both browtines in each picture are growing in away from each other.
