How wide and old?
 
Can you guys give me your opions on how old and how wide this buck is. This picture was taken on July 4th so he is still growing. I have pics of him from june 14th and he grown alot since then. I don't think he will get any wider but I hope his tines lengthen. Your opions please. Thanks.

The anters are way past the tips of the bucks ears (15 inches approx.) so I would say he has a good 22 in spread. Looks like a 3.5 also. He will probably have shorter tines since he is so wide.

That buck is 4 years old if not a little older, I bet he scores in the 145's to 150 class. His body mass is really good and his chest is full even for summer.

I think he is about 4 1/2 yrs old and is carrying about an 18 inch spread..

Wow! That's a huge spread! What state is this in?

4.5 year old , 20-22 inch spread, score around 150.

18" are you kidding? This guy will go at least 22", but won't score over 140 due to the short tines. About a 3.5 y.o.. A nice buck by all means.

not very good at telling age but it does look like an old deer, and it will easily make a 20-22" spread, scoring anywhere in the 120s to 140s unless hs tines lengthen up. if his tines shoot on up there he'll be pushing 150 or maybe even 160 IMO.

No Way will that rack be that big!!! For as far as short tines he is still in velvet with another month and a half fo growing left on him... I did see one the other day that was well over the 200lb mark sporting a heavey 2 foot rack at least and that rack is no where near that big...

Great buck still in velvet with plenty of growing time. Those tines will lengthen nicely and it will be a 20" or better buck.

There is only one way to find out for sure.. That is to try and shoot him this fall! With any luck you will and then measure it for us all to know..:)

This buck will go over 20" easy. I have seen plenty of 20"-21" Whitetails and this buck rolls right in with them.

RE: How wide and old?
 
If it does right now then the one I had seen earlier must have been 3 feet across.. if I am off by as much as you folks think...:D:D:D

He 3.5 or 4.5 about 22 wide.

SamPAhunter 07-16-2007 09:21 PM

RE: How wide and old?
 
I agree 3.5-4.5 years of age and I was thinking a spred in the 18" mark as well but to make everyone happy I will say...18-22" LOL:D
Awesome buck none the less:)

Thanks guys for the responses. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't seeing things. To be honest I was thinking this guy is 22"-24" i'll tell you why. From what I have seen and measured and good buck is 15-16" ear tip to tip. This guy to me looks to have a good 4" on each side ad that up and thats 23-24". A guy a couple of years ago shot one that was 23" spread and this guy looks to about the same. As far as scoring I think 150 is quite a bit far fetched since he lacks tine length right now. But I do hope they shoot up. I do know that in 21 days he has grown everything fro the ears 3 weeks from this pic alll he had was beam to ears and brow tines.

Thanks guys for your response and opions.
