[QUOTE="BSK, post: 594480, member: 17"] 6 1/2 and older bucks: Bucks 6 1/2 or older are characterized by hugely large bodies that are beginning to look "saggy" especially around the belly. If the belly is vertically thicker than the shoulders and hams, the buck is 6 1/2+. These bucks are rarely seen in the wild (even if they exist--they are very secretive). [Note: the 2nd pictured buck in velvet is from the Low Country of South Carolina. I use that SC buck in velvet (when necks are not as filled out as they will be come the rut) primarily to show just how fat the bellies on 6 1/2+ year-old bucks really are] [img]http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee175/BSK_04/6a.jpg[/img] [img]http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/ee175/BSK_04/Buck007c.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
