It is rare for us to have a 1 1/2 year old that nice around here.

That buck is a beaming picture of health! That is as good as it gets where I hunt whitetail in oklahoma. Nobody lets them get too big. Purely horn hunters. Seing that picture makes me wanna just do a doe hun this coming year to help the smaler ones have a chance to get bigger. EJ

Where was that shot taken , ShadowAce ?
I don't live far from you and I rarely see one that young have a rack like that . Usually it would be at least 2-2.5 YO to have one that size .

That's a quality 1.5 year old at least in my area of PA, and I agree, potential is there. Here's hoping your arrow finds him two years from now.
