WV Deer Pics from this season
Here are our deer from this season. We had 4 hunters at camp, plus my cousin and her husband. The pictures don't do them justice. The8pt (left)and the 6pt (2nd deer)had huge bodies. The spike (hanging) was a "lifer" and the other had most of its points broken off. I would not have shot the spike had it not been a really big bodied deer. The teeth were pretty well worn, too.(My scope is really good. LOL) Hopefully Igot a "goat" out of our herd.
The second buck...the big 10 pt was killed late in the week by my cousin. It is 20" wide and rough scored 140.

RE: WV Deer Pics
Wild...The 8pt and 6pt were 2 1/2. The busted spike was 3 1/2, and the other was not aged. (probably 2 1/2, judging by the long spikes...just a guess, though) I actually bought a set of aging teeth from the meat processing department where I work.
Oh, The 10pt was 3 1/2.
The term "they look young" can be deceiving. You cannot age a deer from a picture.
While they're not the biggest bucks in the world...they're better than what we killed when we saw 50 deer per day. We went a few years seeing nothing bigger than a 4" spike not 6-7 years ago. We still have some bigger ones running around, but they made it another year.
