[QUOTE="102, post: 726773, member: 1462"] Bryan, I did not take the tiem to read all of the posts on this thread, so it may have already been brought up. I think the statement which suggests that field scoring bucks is more of an art, than science, is MOST accurate. I would also add that it is an ACQUIRED skill. Difficult at best and almost ALWAYS arguable amoung veteran hunters, especially while in the field. But looking at your pics, I must say that while most are excellent examples of age, EVERY single one of them can depict different age calss bucks, depending on the geographic location of the deer. I'm sure you mean this as a "guideline". That it is. But a 2.5 year old rutting buck living up North looks distinctly different than a 2.5 year old in Hamilton County. Like you said, it is more art, than science. What say you? 1-2 [/QUOTE]
