You live in Canada...You opinion doesnt count..Go chase booners !!

yeah most us jersey guys would kill to take a AVERAGE canadian buck in our state (don't get me wrong we get some bruiser)
Yea, I have 2 road kill 1.5yos hanging from my fence. Poor little guys. They were HUGE 1.5yo bucks. Too bad for them. One was killed in my front yard. They woudl have likely been this size, next season.
Bry, you know the area, and the type of bucks running around(and their normal charectoristics). Whatcha think...2.5 or 3.5yo ?
I shot a hoss of a 1.5 year old this year and if he'd have made it to next year, id expect him to look similar to that guy. I think your accurate.

Actually i think that means the deer would have 66% more growth. So 66% of 92 is 60and add that to 92 and you get 152".

Whether I am dumb or not, the statement below suggests that the size at 2.5, is 1/3 of its potential size. What am I overlooking?
I read that a buck at 2.5yo is only at 33% of his antler potential.

Yea Bry- I believe him to be 2.5yo. If he makes it to 4.5yo, he should be one heck of a buck.
I read that a buck at 2.5yo is only at 33% of his antler potential. At 3.5yo, he is at 64% of that potential and at 4.5yo he is at 88%....
If he's around next season, we'll see what he looks like. A lot of the areas that I now hunt were over hunted and many guys blasted every decent 2yo they saw, needless to say, we're in a "rebuilding" phase, right now with these herds.
