Lol! If he shot that deer from the state listed in his Info that's no 3.5 year old. His head and body Is small. Look at the length of the deer compared to his bow?

He does look like a bigger deer body wise In this pic.

I guess my my estimate was off. Jeeeesshhh! That seemed to be the popular guess amongst everyone here last week. I am obviously no expert in aging a deer because i could really give a rats___. I hunt for meat, but if i am ever faced with multiple deer containing a big racked buck i will take him. I love how everyone here is so quick to jump on somebody for the slightest little mistake or use of the wrong wording. It's as if you are all trying to prove that you are the superior deer masters. I come here to learn from my fellow hunters, not to nit pick.

Relax there buddy!! Jeeeesh!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I do not know where I fit in at. My first deer was a button buck that Is Good and tender because I shot him for meet and because it was my first animal... Now I know I shouldn't say this because somebody will jump on me about fully identifying my target before I shoot but... I thought the button buck was a doe... Also I live in Illinois so one less corn eating whitetail is always a plus... but now that I have gotten an arrow bloody... I do plan to only hunt for a mature animal... and if and when i tag it... I plan on filling as many doe tags as I can to put meat on the table... because its my way of providing for my family seeing as IM not good at much else.

Sorry Shultz, i just get fed up sometimes when people make a big stink out of such a mundane detail. Regardless, the buck that i shot was posted to show that i pay no attention to the size of a rack. Like i said, i don't like to nit pick or come down on people but this dopler guy is on a whole other level in my book.

Since we're posting pics of our past hunting season, here's a pic of my 2006-2007 season. Do you have any idea how happy I would have been to get a spike deer? Hunting is a very personal thing and means different things to different people. If you're not happy with a spike, by all means, pass it up. But if someone else gets one, be happy for them. They were successful. I'm not a "youngster", and I've taken a few larger bucks, but if I get a spike, it's a big deal to me. It's a sad day when you can't be happy for someone getting a deer, no matter how small.

Why dont I shoot does?
1. They are what produce the bucks.
2. I have more bucks on the farm that I hunt than does.
3. Several of them have tiny racks for their age.
4. I am proud of the deer I shoot (even the small ones)and think each one is a trophy.
