Keep him away from that magic mud or he's liable to heal up and run off before you post your picture of him.

Are you sure he wasn't a 1.5 year old. A 5.5-6.5 deer would be much more well endowed than him. Anyway congrats on your buck

Bucks are considered in their prime at 5 1/2 years old. A buck of that age will not have teeth worn down to the gumline. It looks like what you have there is a nice tasty yearling. How old was he according to your eyball to nose length chart?

Sorry, but there is nothing "old" about that deer at all! I will just about guarantee that none of us ehre in the Hoosier State will ever actually see a deer in the wild that has "gone down hill" as far as rack and physical condition is concerned.

I wouldnt agree with that ......
Be willing to bet I laid eyes on a deer last night that was older than 8.5 years and was indeed on the way down hill.
Might even be able to provide a picture of said deer later today.

They don't get short AND spindly. |
