Age This Buck I Killed (Updated w/Kill Pics Post #11)

[Buck Dropper]

Hey guys, wanted to share a few pics of a buck I killed this fall and get your thoughts on how old he was. I will post pictures from after the kill once you guys have given your age based on the trail cam pictures.

If this thread goes well I will put of my second buck of 2018 as well.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

21/2 - 31/2?

 

[Mark K]

Based on the pics I’d say 3.5 max.

Do you have any daylight trail camera photos of him that you can post?

 

[davidhelmly]

I’ll guess 3.5 or possibly 4.5 but those IR pictures make guessing, a bigger guess than normal.

 

[bilgerat]

depends on where you killed it. if middle to south Ga id say 3.5, if in the mtns ill say 4.5

 

[Deer Fanatic]

[Turpentine]

Here he is the morning I killed him. Fun fact, I killed him two days after the last trail camera picture nearly a mile and a half away.

Nice buck. That is cool to know. They can sure cover some ground. I wonder how many hunters he avoided before meeting up with you.

Nice buck , congrats , did u age him , I’d guess 3.5 also !

 

[MFOSTER]

Congrats nice buck I would age at 3.5 but would not be surprised at 4.5

 

[Bowcephus]

I would estimate 3.5 but you really can’t tell without a couple years of history

3,5 would get you thrown out of our club

Glad I don’t hunt in your club. To each their own. My goal is 3.5 or older.

Great stout looking buck.
How far did he run if any? Great shot too.

 

[Buck Dropper]

Thanks, he dropped in his tracks.
