Age Struggle

[Livin2hunt]

I think he's 3 1/2. Would like others thoughts? This deer is a newbie to the farm as of this week. He's been in this food plot everyday at some point the last 3 days. Thanks!

I think he's older than 3.5.

Looks like a 4.5 year old or possibly older to me.

He all over 5.5 to me personally.

Thanks! Can't get a tractor back there so done with a atv groundhawg disc and drag harrow along with some sweat equity. Here's the whole plot. Have some spots to fill in but proud of it.

I wish I had deer like that on my camera in South Carolina. That deer is a shooter. I wouldn't fret about it

That deer is a shooter anywhere, IMO. Fruit ripe for picking.

He's definitely on the short list.

Looks like he's dropped it.

I wished. Not yet. Waiting on a cooler evening to get after him. He had a friend show up too. Waiting on a cooler evening to go in there.

Not me. If he's on his feet during hunting hours then so am I. Wait a few days and he might have completely shifted range and pattern. The deer woods are always in a state of flux. Whatever has him there in that moment will inevitably change and when it does he'll move on too. Waiting is a gamble I've lost too many times.

I don't disagree but we had trespassing coon hunters Friday night that we had a meeting of the minds with and I didn't want to go in there after that. Haven't seen him around the field on any cameras all weekend so we shall see. I was thoroughly pissed! I've never had those troubles with that on our lease. I'll be in there a few afternoons this week. I haven't seen them on cam all weekend.
