[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5006129, member: 2805"] I've seen several deer that we have killed that the jawbone missed the age by a year, but this is the first buck we've killed that missed by a full 2 years! My daughters buck had all the features of a fully mature deer. 192lbs post rut (should have been 225 in early November). We have only killed 1 2.5yo since I started keeping records 7 or 8 years ago, and it weighed 155 prerut. Several 3.5yos killed averaging around 180lbs pre rut, and the lightest 4.5yo or older deer we've killed was 180lbs, most averaging 195 to 200lbs. Furthermore, I've never seen a 2.5yo with tarsal staining all the way from the hocks down to the hooves. I know you cant judge age based on the rack, but everything about this deer screams fully mature... except for the jawbone. Regardless, its all academic. I'm sticking with my theory that this deer lived on pudding. :) [/QUOTE]
