Pic is from late September. I believe he is 5.5 yo. Will he fit my definition of a cull (fully mature buck with less than 120 gross inches)?

What a toad. Fully mature no doubt. He does look under 120, but he's so dang big makes his rack look smaller. Looks like a Canadian whitetail, you don't realize how big their racks are since the bodies are so big.

I allow everyone to kill 1 buck of choice, you pick it... a second buck if I determine it is a cull (4.5yo and less than 120). If you shoot your buck of choice and kill what you think is a cull for your second and it isn't less than 120in or less than 4.5, you forfiet your tags for the following year. I had passed this pic to my guests along with the other culls for the year.

I had guessed this buck was 115in... man was I wrong...

He came out for me yest eve, and I realized his body was way bigger than I had previously thought. Shot him, then got to him a few minutes later. This deer was HUGE, making his rack look small in proportion... I couldn't even load him, had to call for help. Pulled him up on the scales, and he was 225lbs live, but I had maxed out the elevation on my hoist and his face was still resting on the ground, so prob 230 to 235lbs.

Biggest body of any deer I've killed. Most massive of any TN buck I've killed. He is 5.5, 133in total...

18 inside, 21in beams, 5.75in H1s, and mass carries way out. Short tines (3in brows, 6in g2s and 8in g3s) kept him from being in the 140s.

I'm really thrilled with him, but he ended up being too big to be a cull, so I've lost my buck of choice for the rest of the year. Good buck use that tag on!
