Default Trail Cam Bucks (big body)

The 6 pointer's a fat sucker. What do you think he weights? The 8 pointer would make a nice mount as well.

Both of those are very fat deer. I would say the 8 is a 41/2 year old deer and the 6 point I bet is older than that...

Both adult deer. good luck

Those deer are very mature deer. I would cull them if I had the chance. I mean those are pretty pitiful for there age.

We're a one buck a year state. Would you burn your only tag on a buck you considered pitiful?

Also, if I was in a different WMU, the 6 pointer would be illegal to shoot. We have some 4 point per side WMUs where this buck would be protected.

that six pointer is definitely past his prime and is an ancient deer.

According to all the experts these days, then he would be a better trophy than a perfect 10 pointer. A mature buck is tough to fool.

I'm guessing genetics as to why he only ever became a 6 pointer. By the looks of his body, he is getting enough to eat.
