OHBucks Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 What do you think? Got tons of pics on the camera of him I moved the camera to a different area of the property to scout another area as well so the last pics I have of him are from mid - late July. What do you think he could score by having over another month of growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcot2773 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 probably low 120's. let him walk. he is still young. he will be a real shooter next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickel Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 nice looking younger buck. I would say he is in the mid 120's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I don't know that he'd get to the 120's, he is a very young buck, he probably 13-14" wide and weak on tine length. I'd say he'll hit 110-115. He will be a very good buck next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwood_HD Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 i agree about giving him another year, but if the hunting is the same where you live in ohio as it is here he will be lucky to make it thru gun season. people start to hammer anything when that week comes lol nice looking young buck tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Bowhunter14 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 some may let him walk, unfortunatly i dont ahve the luxury of letting bucks like that walk, with other hunters on neighboring properties more then willing to shoot a deer like that... So, I say, if you get the chance, take him!!! He's a great buck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHBucks Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I agree personally to let him walk one year. The problem is that this is a hunting lease I only get to hunt on weekends due to the fact it's an hour away from my house. The landowner keeps telling us that he keeps seeing some really nice racks. I am a firm believer that this is not the dominant mature buck in the area. That middle picture was the last one that we got and that was over a month go so im just not sure how much he can grow in that time. Mind you the property has more corn, soybean, and alfalfa around that any deer could want so nutrition is very good and apparently there are some really good genetics as well.

redkneck Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Nice buck, he should stay away from me when I have a bow in my hands. Would maybe let him walk with a rifle. Depends on what kind of season I'm having. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcot2773 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 most parts of the country deer are now shedding velvet now so i would say that he wasnt growing much more just hardening what was underneath. he shouldnt be much bigger if any bigger now.

ODH Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 115-120 range. Tough choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSeb53 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 In PA thats a nice deer... if that deer presented a shot in front of my stand, i wouldnt hesitate to pull the trigger... bow release or rifle...( plus i havent killed a buck in over 4 years now passing on legal deer much smaller than that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I agree, a very young deer with lots of potential. If you have the license you can shoot anything that you want. If there is any way that you can let him walk then do it. good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 yea mangive him one more year man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldridgem1 Posted September 28, 2010 Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 pretty much agree with everyone else...115-120.. I think i mite have to let that one walk knowing what he'd be next year. Young deer with great potential if he makes it to next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHBucks Posted September 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2010 This is what he looks like right now. Got them off my cam last week. Not gonna lie it would be pretty damn hard to let him walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 na i would let him go i look at how wide and stuff like that he ant even outside the ears well i would let him go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abear491 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 My guess would probably be a little under 120 but really close to 120. I would say pass him this year next year he will be a brute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHBucks Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Well I don't get to hunt in my backyard or anything like that. I know alot of hunters that would be thrilled with that deer. There's no guarantee I will even be hunting this property next year because it was a lease. The deer I had last year on camera was well outside the ears and you said that one was too small as well. Haha you must shoot some real monsters man.

MonsterBuck48 Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 i agree about giving him another year, but if the hunting is the same where you live in ohio as it is here he will be lucky to make it thru gun season. people start to hammer anything when that week comes lol nice looking young buck tho very true even where i live in ohio, once gun season comes in everything goes downhill, no one lets anything walk thats why it so hard to let good grow like this one. id give him another year should be lookin real good next year and would def find the end of my arrow.

huntnfish Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I hunt in NC and he would be good for down here. I also hunt a lease and the neighbors would never let that buck grow any older. I'd say shoot him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampwright Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 too young he would be great deer next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Very easy for people from big deer states, or drunk from all the hype, to say let him walk. That is a nice buck in a lot of places. Around here the next time you would see that buck he'll be riding in a pickup truck more than likely .

cbahunter Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 Looks like a nice buck, would be hard to pass this guy up.Check out this buck, he is the one I am waiting for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 He's a nice buck but he is a younger one with alot of potential. Personally,if he walked by stand,I'd have a hard time letting him walk. But if he does make it thru the season,he's gonna put on quite a few more inches...your call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
