Washi Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I'm leaning towards not mature but I thought I'd ask you opinions. He only looks 2.5 to 3.5 years old to me. Then again this is my first year using a trail cam and I'm not used to seeing bucks still in velvet and with their summer coats still on.

buckbuster11 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Not mature. Bodywise I'm thinking 2.5, rackwise I am thinking 3.5. Either way that boy has some nice genetics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 I agree, his body looks like a 2.5 year old but he has a great looking rack. I would have to say he is an immature buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flintlock1776 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 If it is your property and the pressure is not great you may want to let him pass and wait until he reaches full potential in 3 (long) years. If not, likely you won't see him until the rut. Trail Cams are great to let you know what is on your land but do you have any pics of that deer during hunting hours? If not then best chance to see him when you can do something about him will be the rut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 Think that deer is probably a 2.5 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Washi Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I don't have any pics of him during hunting hours but then again I had just put the camera in this spot when he showed up. It's not our land but only my family has permission to hunt there. The bad thing is I have showed him to some of my family and they said, " I'm shooting him if he walks by me." I told them he needs a few years but they don't seem to care. I was the one who got us permission to hunt here so that might give me a little help in convincing them.
