shedhunternick Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 ive seen sheds off of a 6 pointer a lot smaller than that one with beer can sized bases lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 That is the biggest six pointer I've ever seen. Definately a shooter buck though. Hope you have great success on the new farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy of a deer Ethan. I would hold off of him if I was you. That buck looks young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2008 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 Dandy of a deer Ethan. I would hold off of him if I was you. That buck looks young. He has a little bit of a sway in his back and belly hangs some too. I bet he is a little older than you think. Atleast 3 1/2 years old.

Atleast 3 1/2 years old. I dont know if I would shoot him or not. It would depend on the mood I was in but I have a feeling I would drop the hammer on him because he just looks so cool. I agree I think he is about 3.5 year old. He doesnt have the best genetics or he would have more tines than that. I doubt if he will ever be more than a 6 point.

Atleast 3 1/2 years old. His face makes him look young. Ethan if you think he will not grow much anymore, then will you take him out of the herd?? You take him if you want, but what will another year hurt?? He might get bigger he might not. Good luck Ethan Edited August 9, 2009 by Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think he needs to be taken out of the herd. I might have to flip a coin in the stand if he walks into bow range lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zambo Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 For a six point he is large. You will know when he walks in on you at your treestand if you will shoot. If he trips your " I like him " button we will see pictures of you and him together. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbreedi1 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Theres somethin about a big six pointer.. I like the looks of them! He's a nice one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthehuntinman Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thats a nice bucks for the amount of points. It would be kind of hard not to shoot him. Well good luck with him either way you decide to shoot or pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Tom Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Shooter! Will he get bigger? Will he get more points---doubtful. My buddy passed on a giant 6 in Kentucky and got back to camp and the landowner was shocked he didn't shoot because he was a trophy buck- but only a 6.

Ethan, i am going to disagree with you on this one...I think you are dealing with a true stud at 2 1/2, 3 1/2 years old tops. He may be a late bloomer and blow up into a toad at 5 1/2..I think he has great genetics, which is why he is so deceiving...I may be wrong, but that would be my guess. His brow tines are not developed enough for his large frame, his neck, shoulders and face are entirely too small to be a mature buck, and i think you have yourself a MONSTER in 2 years. Thats my opinion, take it or leave it...Either way, nice buck, and good luck with whatever you do. It would be tough to pass on him, but like casey said, one more year wouldn't hurt. Good luck, and nice pics. dan Edited August 10, 2009 by layin on the smackdown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, and nice pics. dan Saggin belly means he's eatting really well, his face looks really narrow. He just looks young. Ethan, like what DannyBoy said, in two year your going to have a whopper walking. Good luck in whatever you do. We will be proud of you either way.

DocMort Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 I agree you could let him walk and see what he grows, but if he is a 3 1/2 year old he's going to be puttting those genetics in your herd and then your going to have alot of big 6's walking around. I say smoke him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kels Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Dont think you can age him by how thin his neck is this early. once the rut comes around his neck could swell up like a balloon. I think its an impressive deer, but you'll only know if he is a shooter when he is sitting right in front of your stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Now I dont know what to do after I think about it. He could be a huge deer next year. I guess I wont know unless I get a chance at him this fall. I still think he is a 3 1/2 year old deer though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Crap, most all of them are good bucks next year! Problem is, you most likely wont see him. If I gotta a bow in my hand and lookin at a frame like that, I'm shooting. Rifle may be a little diff story, but he needs to not walk out late in the evening, he'll be shot by 98% of the folks out there, including me!

DocMort Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thats true Ethan if he is front of you and you say whack him, you will. I can't see that buck being passed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thats true Ethan if he is front of you and you say whack him, you will. I can't see that buck being passed up. Another aspect is if that buck is: You believe to be the largest representation, of that number of points you will ever see on any deer, in your lifetime...Click-Boom Personally I think a mount collection of the largest rack for each number of points that you have ever seen would be awesome. It would make a fantastic collection IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 LOL...I would'nt I'd just like to see what he would be next year if I was in Ethan's shoes. Like I told Ethan before I'd be happy for him even if he took him this fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 If I get some pics of some bigger bucks at this farm then I will probably let him go. I have only had a camera over there for two weeks and Im just starting to figure out where the deer are at so we will see. But then again, you dont get the chance to kill a deer like that very often.
