Thanks all.

Got him cut up, ground up, vacuum packed, freezing and/or marinating as I type. :D

Dropped him off at my taxidermist Saturday. He will let me know for sure, but he thinks he is a 4-1/2 year old. He was showing me a way to estimate age based on the rolls in the hide behind his ears to the base of his antlers...first I'd ever heard of something like that. I just nodded my head, said a few uh-huh's, and heard him out. He's an older, ornery fella, so I'm not sure if he was being truthful, or just pulling my leg. :D:D

Awesome buck Tom. CONGRATS. Did you happen to see any injury on him that might of led to the deformed left side ?

too_

Hey Mike, that was one of my first thoughts as well. I looked him over and did not find any old injuries that would cause his antlers to grow that way.

I did find that his forehead between his antlers was scarred up from fighting - a couple nice size gashes there. Those were fresh though, within a few days old...
