How Old Do You Think He Is?
Got this buck on the cam in upstate PA. He's got a typical 8 frame with the exception of the brow tines on one side. There are two and both kind of out of place. His body looks pretty big but he doesn't seem to have an old looking face. Plus, a skinny neck. But that may be because it's summer and not the rut.

There is no doubt in my mind that he is a pretty big buck.. He will only look bigger during the rut.. Good luck getting him and hopefully during the early part of the season before he can gun any wieght off him,,

Yeah, I can see 3.5yo. He should look really big when he's in full rut. This is a new area a couple of us have been exploring. This is the first buck that's showed on camera so far. Good start.

Yeah, the bucks up north are a little stockier than southern bucks. As you get up into Maine, they're even fatter. It has something to do with not having to drag heavy deer in the southern heat
