Lmao buckmaster! I've seen and passed this same buck 3 years in a row, my brother lives on the property and has the previous 2 sheds of this buck. He did jump in rack size good from last year to this year but next year I beleive he is going to be a 140" buck or so. I had him at 12 yards this year. Here's a 3.5 year old...

3.5’s are starting to get easier to pick out. Most are the ones you see that are immediate “shooters” without much more analysis. I’d put our 3.5’s at 110” to 140” with the majority in the 120” to 135” range. I’d like to see someone with a little more experience & knowing the true ages of this age/size class of deer to weigh in and see if my ideas are correct.

Our 3.5's in my neck of the woods usually range from 115 to the 125" mark. Here and there your going to get some 140 and maybe 150 inchers around here at 3.5 but for the most part 125" tops it out where I hunt for 3.5's.
