I was going through my trail cam photos and found some pics of one of my regulars. He has a short browtine on one side that busts off every year. He has been an 7-8pt for the last two years for sure... Just wondering if y'all think I should take him out.

4.5 -5.5

Those are earlier in the year and he looks like a protien hound to me.

4.5 - 5.5, If you are sure he is the same deer, cull him out, if not give hime one more year. Has his rack gotten progressively bigger each year?

He did get bigger from last year, but he still has that goofy brow tine. You can see it in velvet, but when he rubs off the velvet it breaks off. It's done that the last two years. It's a one buck county and we have some monsters, but I am more management minded than having to take one of our giants... Thanksgiving he was running does real hard... Not sure I want a buncha his offspring running around (although the damage is probably already done)...

He definitely looks big, but I dont know if I would say he's 5.5 years old. I'm leaning toward 3.5 maybe 4.5 years old. Pretty skinny neck and longer nose.

He is a old and wise deer. Since he feeds during the dark of hours he should live a long life and spawn many offsprings.



I feed Indian Corn, the deer really seem to like it and stay at the feeder longer......and longer....!

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

4.5 at least, even if he is 3.5 he needs to be harvested. I don't get too excited about letting a 3.5 to.4.5 year old eight pt. walk, that is that old.

He is 5.5+, he has done all he is gonna do.

Let the air out of him!



Bartender, bring me anything except brake fluid, cause I don't plan on stopping!
