Very nice buck, great tine length. Have you checked the teeth yet? I would be interested in the age of this buck, the body size makes me think it is a 3.5 year old deer, little hard to tell by the pictures. But if you look at his head, it appears you nailed him in his prime.

The guy that measured him said he was a young deer. 3.5 was his guess and he has gone over a ton of deer. His eye to nose measurement was 7 in. He said a really mature buck is usually 7.5 in.

Thanks for all the congrats guys and gals. I am super happy with him. I was blown away by his size and the fact that he would almost make book being a 6 pt. Truth is, I will probably never see or shoot a 6 pt. like him again. The guy that scored him said it was the biggest 6 he has ever personally seen.
