This deer is 3 yrs old. What's he score? Those are his 1, 2 and 3 yr sets of antlers. 3 being the ones on his head in these photos. [ URL=http://s160.photobucket.com/user/myshiningstar2012/media/FullSizeRender%201_zpsormzxezm.jpg.html] [/URL] The two photos above were earlier this summer. He's now coming up on 4.5 yrs. I think he went downhill a bit. What say you?

Most all Bucks appear bigger alive on the hoof to me. I always remind myself of that before I shoot. For me if I'm questioning if he's big enough then he's not big enough...All the shoulder mounts I have there was no doubt it was a mature shooter.

For me when I was younger and up until the mid 90's, we hunted where there was not a lot of deer. So you did not see a lot of deer much less a lot of bucks. When you start to see a lot of bucks then make that decision to pass up a buck, you start to look at a buck differently. You start to see things you do not see when you shoot the first buck you see each season. Spending time looking for sheds, carrying a video camera to shoot videos or still camera to take pics that you get back to camp or the house to look at have all really helped me judge deer much better.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?
