RE: Guess the weight/age
Years ago my buddy shot a big NH deer that dressed at 269 pounds with an 11 point rack.
The rack was small and scrawny considering the size of his deer.
The biologist said that deer was very old too and that he probably saw his last New England winter.
The size of the antlers also was an indication of age as they tend to reduce in size once a deer get's beyond
5 1/2 - 6 1/2 yrs old.
The deer in this post must have been a real bruise in his prime.
