OHbuckeye1 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 This 12 Point starting coming in since gun season started, never seen him before. Does he look like a 2 1/2 year old Buck. [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clrj3514 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 looks pretty young to me but i'm no professional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 If he didn't have 12 points I'd say 1.5 years old. With 12 points I'd go with 2.5 years. Likely a B&C in 1-2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 first words out of my mouth......holy crap. He does look very young.......2 or 3 years he could be a MONSTER!!! WOW :eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unioncountyslayer Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Here's to hoping and praying he makes it a few more years. He'll be a pig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 That guy is going to be a monster in a couple few years. I hope he makes it through for a few seasons. Best of luck in getting him in coming years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Hunter Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Looks young. I can't imagine him in a couple years!:eek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Not so sure he is a young deer. His rack is carrying a fair amount of mass and good brow tines. Also, he is a bit paunchy for a young deer with a large boned frame. A rather large head and long nose along with what appears to be increased graying in the face also suggests an older deer.

NY_Bowhunter14 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 WOW! he is definitly young, he will be a monster in a few years, hope he makes it that long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp793 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Definetely a young deer. Looks like he hit the rut pretty good but is gaining the weight back really quick. I'd say give him a year or two and he will be a true monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 He does look very young.......2 or 3 years he could be a MONSTER!!! WOW :eek: I agree, not looking at the horns, I'd say he might be 2-1/2 but has really good genes. give him a couple years to "spread his seed" and he'll be a monster, with a couple offspring running around hopefully.

whitetailhunter32210 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 He is a young deer for sure. 2.5 years old. Let him walk a couple years and breed some doe's. Thats the best 2.5 year old deer ive ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 His neck is not too heavy, but he is filled in pretty well in the hind end. I am going to go against the majority here and say I think he is a 3.5 year old buck, 2.5 year olds are not typically that full in the hind end. Bet if he makes it two more years you start to see a dip in his back and sag in the belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest UPS VT Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 Here in VT he would never have the chance to reach his potential. It is hard to pass on a deer when you see so few, and it is doubtful the next guy will pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kid Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 yup hes 2.5 for sure,, one more year and he'll score pretty good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOYTnMUZZYboy Posted December 6, 2008 Report Share Posted December 6, 2008 That is deff a young deer. Im gonna say between 2.5 and 3.5 years old. He has some nice bone, but.. he is deff not peaked yet. Not real massy yet. In a few years that deer will be a pig!! I sure hope no one shoots him for a few years. I would be praying to the deer gods he make it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckslayer Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Thats an amazing young deer! Yep, he looks like the 2.5 yo buck I shot this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turkeybuster Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 he looks like he'll be a monster in a about 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 When I read the thread title I was skeptical. But that guy is a youngn!! 2.5 is VERY reasonable. Like wtnhunt said, an argument can be made that he is 3.5, but I think it's doubftul. Can't wait to see pics of him in the coming years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
