I recently captured this guy on my cudd. Ive analyzed several photos of him next to other deer and I believe this buck to be around 6 or 7. His body is enormous compared to the others. This is in SC so the deer where I hunt normally are pretty small. What do you all think.I want to try and harvest him but I wanted all your thoughts on him. I know his antlers are anything huge but pretty unique. I think he's on the downword slope of antler growth. I think harvesting a buck this old is a trophy in itself.

I would! I agree with you. He looks like he's pretty old. The antlers aren't anything amazing like you said, but it'd still be a great buck to harvest! Good luck!

I think is an old deer in decline

Hard to tell from the picture but if he is a declining buck I think I would let him walk let him bred, he has good genes (he was a good one once), besides he is not a "mounter", and an old buck like that is not the best for eating, jmop Doc

this buck may not be breeding anymore, he is prolly gettin his arse beat by the studs neearby, but not he is no good for eating, and really isn't worth taxidermy bill. I'd let him walk

Just an observation but is that ol' Bullwinkle in the upper left of that photo? There's your shooter!!!

Certainly an old deer, you can tell by the length of his nose and declining rack. You would have to grind him at least twice just to be able to chew sausage lol.
