[QUOTE="Andy S., post: 5550715, member: 131"] As a 3.5 year old 10 point, with all up tines? If so, he had it [U]ALL[/U] to really be something at 5.5 ASSUMING he would have lived and flourished, not got sick, not been hit by car, no pedicle injury, not shot by a hunter, etc, etc. Not throwing shade at you, just making the case that MOST of our statistical outliers "on the high side" that we all dream about seeing in the wild, are killed by a hunter as a top end 3.5 year old as they roam the woods in daylight during the rut. I shot a non-typical several years back while hunting on the ground. I could tell he had multiple up tines and some non-typical trash. I could not see his little neck and body. I shot as soon as he presented himself from a sapling thicket. 136" 2.5 year old. :eek: Another buck that had it ALL to really be something, but I ended that before he ever had the opportunity to express his potential.
