Been over the summer since it started so got a head start on setting some of my cameras on some of the property. Hoping some of these stay around til the bow opener at least. Do y'all think the 9 will make AR?

If a game warden writes an AR ticket for shooting that something is wrong with this world. He's obviously a very mature deer.

Checked the cams and here are some updated pics. I had deer shedding by the end of July. Had a 4.5 year old 8 point that was completely shed out by July 27th. The 9 is so close I don't know what to do. My big 8 that I shot out here was 15-16 inches at his ears so the 13 inch doesnt necessarily mean at the ears. What do ya'll think?

Nice deer. I think you'll have to be the judge when you see him. You know the genetics on the property. Good luck!

He seems to keep passing that little bent tree. I'd make a 13" stick and hang it on that tree to help judge. He is close, but I'd sure have a hard time passing him up.

Thanks!!

I would contact the game warden for that area by email and send him the pics. Ask him what he thinks. The buck is very close and obviously fully mature. I would be shocked if he didn't give you the thumbs up. up

That is a close one, I am leaning to no it isn't 13 but I tend to err on the side of caution. You have some great deer with a lot of character. The suggestion to hand a 13" stick sounds like a really good idea. Give that a shot.

That wide 8 w/ the tall brows would be a good target as well up

Nice bucks. Don't think the 9 will make 13".

It'll be real close on the 9, but I think he barely makes it. I would sure take a long look before pulling the trigger, though. Placing a 13" stick in view of the camera and contacting the game warden are both good ideas.

Great deer for sure, but 13" is 13". Age doesn't matter. GW can not say shoot it regardless of age. All they can say is to be legal it must meet the 13" rule. No different than the slot limit on fish. Restitution on a deer like that is about $2000 give or take $500.

Are you a game warden? Since you seem to speak for them I'm curious to know. confused2
