As mentioned, this SW Young county, mgmt. 8pt was harvested Dec. 30th, colder, cloudy 44 degree, mid-morning. Was 1 of 4 late season bucks hotly chasing a young doe. He surprised me a couple of ways. Reveal to occur in a hour or so, start the estimates and a prize of unknown value to be revealed upon the reveal. [Linked Image]

Did you take those pics with this thread in mind? Two from the back and no real body shot for perspective help.
I’ll try-13 and 100.


At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Nope, just a solo hunter taking some quick shots of a non-eventful deer. You're off on score by some...Very nice spread estimate, really close. He's carrying more tine length than you're like allowing for but does lack mass for sure...

So the big reveal is upon us; congrats to QuitShooting on his estimate guesses. The deer came in at an inside spread of 13.25" and overall gross score of 110.5".
For anyone wondering on age, I had him estimated at a rutted down right 3.5-4yo based on "on the hoof" and trail camera pics. Since he was chasing when I saw him, he fooled me a little with his taller rack and fact my views were mostly from behind him. Still, I have numerous 8pts sighted in person and on camera, therefore culling one out is not a horrible thing.

QuitShooting, I have an old American Hunter 6V, photocell feeder motor that is welcome to be yours but I won't be shipping it. If you're ever up my way in Young/Throckmorton counties, let me know and it's yours.

How could he be 3.5 or 4. That’s the same age.

Late season birth buck, Aug./Sept. instead of Apr/May

scratch At what point of the hunting season would a buck be 4, if he was 3.5 when the deer hunting season started?

I look at it as how many sets of horns have they grown.
First set he’s one, etc. Just drop the “.5”.
