Catman - maybe cull isn't the right term - guess some outfitters use the term management buck. But I try to only shoot mature bucks (and does) and i take pride in each deer I take as its an accomplishment to kill a big deer.
I use the word cull bc most of us wud like and expect a mature buck to have more than 6 pts and i know that i wud prefer that his genes not be passed on as ive seen several large 6 pts this yr on our place.
I called him a 4 1/2 yr old. A guy that knows aging better than me thinks he's an older deer in decline. Either way. I'm proud to get him and consider him a trophy! Thx for the comment and question.
