The hard part is going to be getting him to stay on the property and notgetting killed by another hunter. One good thing is that I already shot my buck for thisyear, so I will be able to stay off this property and maybe create a safe haven for him and hopefully get a crack at him in the years to come.....

Everyone who replied to this thread calls this buck a 2.5 year old besides myself. The body tells me 2.5 but the rack just seems no way possible It could be a 2.5. Like a few have said on this thread this buck has excellent genes. I may have to re think my decision and go along with everyone else on this. I guess I'm not use to seeing a P&Y buck at 2.5 years old, It don't seem right but I do know it's possible. The rate that this thing Is growing he'd be a booner In a couple years easily If 2.5 Is his rightful age.

He's pretty thick and well muscled for a 2.5, but you boys out in the midwest get some really big bodied deer so he could very well be 2.5. If he is he is gonna be a stud in a year or 2. I'd say he scores in the mid 120's.

low to mid 130's and a 3yr old buck. If you could restrain yourself, I would let him walk for this year, he looks to have great potential for next year.

Here is another good 2.5 year old buck with good potential....

2.5 sounds about right. He's certainly got some great potential!

Wow, if he can make it two more years, he'll be a freak for sure. I go 2.5 as well on the age. Next year he'll be tough to pass up, with his rack the way it is now, I don't hink 20"-30" are impossible for him to grow next year, and with the number of points he has, he'll look even bigger.

That is going to be a stud ofa buck in the future.

I lean heavily towards 2.5 and looks to bein the 120's maybe 130"

I say a 3.5 year old buck he just don't have the rutted out neck. He has a good body on him look at the front brisket. Thats a older deer than 2.5 for sure.

Id say, 2.5 pushing 3 at the very most. If around three, he was an early drop.
