. . . . too much headgear for a 2.5.
That thinking will cause one to kill off his best young antler genetics :mrgreen:
I've see 2 1/2-yr-old TN bucks every year that will outscore this buck's rack,
and have scored some in the 130's and one in the 140's (again, in TN).
2 1/2's have been known to make B&C in neighboring KY,
and I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of the P&Y bucks taken in KY might be only 2 1/2 years old.
(KY bucks will average a little more antler at 2 1/2 than TN bucks.)
Generally speaking, ignore the antlers when aging
