It's almost August, so it's time to put up the golf clubs and start dreaming of the brush country. I would love to take a big slick 8 and I think I may have a prime candidate. I saw this guy 3 times last year, including the last Saturday of the season. I can't wait to see if he stays at 8 points and puts on some mass and maybe a few inches elsewhere. I'm struggling with his age and looking for opinions. To help you out, this pic was taken in mid-December, southern Live Oak County. I've got some video I could post that might help.

Nice buck and I'd guess 5.5 based on facial characteristics. Body looks 4.5 to me

Nice looking buck! Looking at his body, I would say he was 4-1/2 in the picture. That's awesome you saw him the second to the last day of the season last year! Where I am at, if I let a nice one walk, I always have to worry someone around us will take him instead of letting him get to his prime...most people don't have enough patients!
I would expect his belly to be starting to sag a little bit this year and I would probably put him on the ground the first chance I got this season if I were you!!!
Good luck!!

Grosvenor, I've got that dude at 5-6 yo. Ever get out to Northshore? I used to wear that place out in college and watched the Hogan and Nike tour stop there. Good luck this season. "Battle of the Bridge"

Need a better pic but he looks 4.5 in that one pic.

Agree with Ross and STX.
Sure a nice 8 though, or a 7 in the photo? Broke brow

Thanks for the input. Last year I waffled between 4.5 and 5.5. I'll try to post some video to see if it changes anyone's mind.
