RE: Jawbone aging question....
ORIGINAL: GMMAT
I just called the guy and told him to save it for me. I can take it by my taxi and he'll tell me. The assistant at our shop is also a scorer for P&Y and he does this stuff, too.
Just interested. His head looks like an older deer's....and a 95+" rack on a 6 point 2.5yr old (again...around here) just seems like a stretch. I keep wishing I'd looked to see if anything had been broken off. But honestly....I didn't pay much attention.
I'm not gonna play him up. He looked like a 2.5yr old's body, to me. I just wonder how much he could have run himself down. He was still chasing, yesterday.
I mean......Is this a roman nose, or what??

He definitely does NOT have a 'Roman nose" though, you'll know a Roman nosed deer when you see it and it's a characteristic of a much older deer. He's got a good old straight face dished nose.

Matt/DT....others...I stand corrected on the roman nose thing. I was il-informed.
He fools me, Matt. I see the body (in its' state, right now) and I say 2.5. Everything else (rack size, head, mass) tells me he might be a bit older (foe here....those characteristics).
It'll be interesting to find out. Worst case scenario still has me tickled to death.
Matt....Is this a better example of a roman nose?

Jeff, I don't think any one stresses maturity as a trophy factor more than you.How many post have you made about a mature doe being the greatest of trophy's?
That buck has every thing but age going for him with age he could of become legendary.
I tell you he's great, yet you deny it.[>:]

Don't you have some leftovers you need to devour? Why don't you just keep your negative posts out of my threads? Seriously.

I denied he was great? Nevermind. You're not worth it. Don't answer that. Just go away.
