Age & Score???
This deer seems to have a decent rack, but the body doesnt seem real big. How old do you think this deer is? Im thinking maybe 2 yr old, if that. This is my first time scouting this area and I really dont know the potential yet. I made a mineral site and this is what I go after the first week. Im planning on checking my camera for the second time at the end of this week and hope to get a few more pics.

I would think 2.5 years. The deer is showing some brisket, has a relatively mature and squared rump, but is still thin. With that rack now, the deer will be beast if given a year or two.

Im not real good at guessing scores, but does anyone have any estimations? I'm thinking he is a shooter since I havent put one on the wall yet, but I guess it all depends on what else I catch on camera. A scoring estimation may help with my decision. I try and live by the old saying "if you would shoot him on the last day, dont pass him up on the first day". Hunting on public property, it's only wishful thinking that he will make it until next year.
