Statistically, if they have no brow tines at 3.5 I would cull them. However, there are always exceptions to the rule. This guy had no brown tines at 2.5 and tiny bumps at 3.5. I killed him at 4.5 and he scored 164. He still didn't have much for brown tines but he was a heck of a buck (my personal best). I guess my point is to look at more than the brown tines before making your decision. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/04/full-7848-185079-img_1468.jpg) Great buck Grizz, what county, how large a place if I may ask? 350 acres in Stephens Co.

We have a lot of bucks without brow tines in Dimmit County. I have probably taken 15 of them in the last 15 years. Cull them at 2.5 sometimes. At 3.5 if they don't have any brows at all, like this one below, they are green lighted. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2019/05/full-39941-185994-img_7220.jpeg) PS - nice buck, Grizz!!!!
