One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I got a pic of this one Sunday off of the trail camera, he is on the wish list for this fall maybe what do you think. He was a 6 last year, was about 15" wide then if its the same buck. He sure would be a good one next year or next. This is not but about 150 yds from the camp but it is THICK in there, age an score anyone.

Give him 1 more year. Nice rack and body but I'm guessing maybe 2- 2.5yrs. Let him grow.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Thats a nice looking buck...

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I figure he is 2.5 this year also, hard to say, he will look different in about 3 months when he starts rutting an putting on the lbs.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I would take that buckthis season in my area!;)

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I would love to see him

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I couldn't pass him up in my area...but if you can pass him up to grow. I say do it.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

The area that I hunt in there are so many woodlots an fields, no telling wherehe will be in Oct, but will not forget to try an cross paths with him.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

While his rack does look a little thin, if that was a 2.5 in my area, that would be one awesome 2.5.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

That deer is most definatly older than 2.5 years old! Whitetail look much different in the fall and look thin in the summer. But you can still notice the sagging belly of a mature deer (even with the summer coat). 3.5+ year old or older.. and more than likely a 4.5+ year old.

If that was a 2.5 (no way) it would be showing AMAZING genetics.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I doubt he would be 4.5 yrs old, maybe 3.5, but I would sway towards the 2.5 range. I would most deffinately draw back on that deer, can't say I would shoot him, but at least shoot at him:D. There are deer that big and bigger around here, but I have never had one in bow range yet, can't say I have had one in M/L range either, so I would try and take him, but thats just me, I don't have a deer that big yet!

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Have to agree. That deer has a good size body and a deep chest. At least 3.5years. Nice rack too.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

After, I look back at my pics, I'm thinking 3.5too.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

That buck is 3.5+

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I think 3.5 years and around 130", very nice buck, i enjoyed looking.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

That's a great pic! I am also guessing he's a 3 year old, that would be an incredible 2 year old? With a little luck, you'l get a few more photos of 'em.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Nice buck what kind of camera is that?

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I agree, he might have a chance of being 2.5, but more than likely hes a 3.5

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Id take him without a second thought!

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Agreed! That deer is in Arkansas in the summer. It's at least a 4.5 year old, probably older. I'm not the best at judging years, but I know Arkansas, Texas, and Oklahoma deer better thanI know the rest. Unless you are just trying to take 6 year old or older I'd shoot that buck. Good luck!

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

If thats a 2.5 year old, you've got somequality feed andgenes spread through your herd. By looking at his chest and torso he's a 3 year old.... Then again, I've never laid eyes on any live Arkansas deer...

Nevertheless, good luck hunting that buck if he's what your after. Shoot whats gonna make you happy after the kill.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Finaly not a Rack buck!!!!!!!!!!

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

Honestly.....first glance I guessed him @ 3.5 and 138".

He looks too good to be a 2.5 yr old southern deer.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

definately 3 years old maybe 4.

RE: One more to the wish list for Oct. 1st.
 

I'd guess him to be 3.5. His stomach has fallen some and most 2.5 yr olds still have the youthful bigger chest/smaller in the hinds look. At least that's what I've seenin PA.
I'd shoot him if the age structure was such.

That will look awesome hanging on the wall!
