3.5?

[Southern Sportsman]

I think this deer is 3.5, but if someone smarter than me said 4.5 I could see it. Agree or disagree with 3.5?

 

[JCDEERMAN]

I do not see enough to convince me he is a 4.5

 

[REM7]

3.5 looks to me

 

[Matthewmathis8]

I say 3.5 also

 

[cbhunter]

3.5, nothing says older to my eyes

 

[1jamey]

3.5 club also

 

[tree_ghost]

3.5imo

 

[Ladys man]

Agree

 

[megalomaniac]

Def 3.5. Just not enough depth of chest to be 4.5

 

[DoubleRidge]

3.5...agree

 

[redblood]

Solid 3.5 old buck

 

[TDW05]

Definitely 3.5

 

[BlasterPits]

3.5 more than likely, upper end 2.5 but id say 3.5

 

[southernhunter]

Most likely a 3.5 but could be older

In TN a 3.5 is about as old of a deer as the average hunter will ever see in person.

 

[redblood]

Textbook 3.5. And a good one

 

[BSK]

Always possible he is 4 1/2, but the preponderance of evidence says 3 1/2.

I tend to agree with that southernhunter, and not just in TN, but in most areas.

My daughter killed her first mature buck this year (4 1/2). I told her she just did something the vast majority of deer hunters will never do in their entire hunting careers.

Glad to see your back BSK

Age structure has improved drastically in the past few years in my area. I understand I am in a very good area with neighbors that have the same age structure goals that I do, seeing fully mature bucks have become reasonably common for me.

Going with the rest 3.5 .
