Old Buck-069.1.jpg

Just got this mount back. Harvested in primitive firearms season more than a year ago. Back teeth determined the age to be at least 8.5 years. We have an identical rack from five years previous. This fellow ran the mountain for quite a few years. And believe it or not he was tender and delicious.

Nice deer. I'm sure he passed on some good genetics.

Congrats! Not too many make it to that age and when they do, usually they don't make the mistake of getting shot!

Great buck! The oldest buck I have ever killed was 4.5 years old and the oldest doe was 8 years old. We had the jaw bones sent in to age them.
