Tank gets a ride in the truck!! Update: TWRA aged at 3.5

[Rob-HC Hunter]

Was fortunate enough to harvest one our target bucks on the opening day of rifle season. He has 26" and 24" main beams, 19" inside spread, and 5" bases and weighed 169lbs with his head removed.

TWRA was taking tissue and blood samples at the deer processor when I dropped him off. They also estimated the age of the deer based on tooth wear.

Anyone care to guess the age?? I was shocked!!!

Thank you Swamp. I'm blessed to have an amazing farm to hunt. And we put in more work on the property than we actually hunt.

 

[swampbadger]

Did you tape him? I'd be interested to see what he scores as well!

[double browtine]

Congratulations on a fantastic 10 pointer!! I'm going to guess he is 5.5 just by body size and size of the bases

 

[TnThunder]

Great deer congrats

 

[backyardtndeer]

That's what I originally guessed him. But that's not their estimate.

If they aged him by tooth wear, they likely under aged him.

 

[mayberryrick]

Awesome Deer and I would say eight years old

 

[Dumbluck]

Great deer I'm gonna say 3.5 on the age.
