I think this buck is 3.5

Cull candidate that is still out there.

same buck as above. better side profile

promising young'n. undecided, but I think it's his first set of antlers, making him 1.5

management nine point I took last wednesday evening. Aged at 5.5

had a run in with him two weeks earlier rattling from my tripod/bow set up. Long story short, he got onto me before I got onto him. Had a score to settle. Wouldn't mind seeing more like him, but at the same time, he doesn't have the spread I desire out there (12.5 inside). I bet he would have been a bruiser with some supplemental protein in his diet. He grossed 108.75. No pics on the hoof, sorry.

same buck as pictured above on the ground. poor quality cell phone photo taking in low light. management 6 point aged at 6.5 laying on the left side of the picture.

rutted down broken 4.5 year old from the side. would classify as a shooter, but would love to improve the quality of the herd over the next several years, hoping to see bucks with antlers this sized at 3.5. He's still out there

same buck as pictured above.

highest scoring buck harvested on the ranch this season. aged at 6.5 and scored 119. I passed opening weekend and two weeks later because I've killed a better eight point in my life, and I'm not as blood thirsty as I was in my younger years.

same buck as pictured above.

dad and I both passed on this buck opening weekend thinking he was just 3.5

looking back, we were wrong. I'm convinced he was a 4.5 year old prerut buck. His genetics are what we want, but we haven't seen him since opening weekend. I'm about 95% sure a neighbor got him, and who could blame them? He was a nice buck.

same buck as pictured above, from the front.

another 3.5 year old 8 point. still out there for next season

this buck has the neck of a four year old, but the body and tarsal glands of a younger deer. He's still out there. Any help on age? I'm going 3.5

that's all the pictures I've got for now. I may need to invest in a 400mm lens for my Nikon... Or take the time to crop the photos before posting.

You can see the difference between my DSLR camera and the cell phone through binoculars pictures.

one more picture. management/cull 4.5 year old that is still out there.

great job, looking forward to some follow ups

Interested to see how things progress. Sounds like you need a few more "friends and family" to help out on the lack of tags

Time to start hitting the does?

Level 2 MLD aspirations for next season. Between family and friends, we've got the tags. It's just about making sure folks are taking the right deer, whether it be a cull or shooter. Does are going to get rolled in t-minus three weeks.

Is there a reason you are waiting on the extended season?

Getting folks to shoot the "right" deer is always tough...sometimes deciding which IS the right deer can be tougher

We put a lot of pressure on the deer having eight hunters in camp, hunting mornings and evenings at every blind we have on the place for four days. I'm going to let things settle down for a little while, taking one or two hunters at a time to harvest does.

A word of advice is to shoot them ASAP. I have waited till late and then bad weather and/or rain sets in for days or the deer just don't move due to warm temps and not get them killed. Next season is not an option at this point if you need to remove does. 10 hd of doe left this season can be 30 hd by next year at this time if you wait.

Good luck and have fun with it!

Id be careful with your age estimates.

Feel free to add your input on any of the bucks pictured. I could see the "cull 6 point" being 2.5

I dont understand... If you aged him at 6.5 how could you see him bing 2.5?

The "cull" six point on the top of the page is still out there. The "cull" six point pictured to the left of my management nine point had 19 inch beams and a 16 inch spread. No G3's. Different deer. Aged by tooth wear.
