I have got to hunt that area more. I have a lock on in a cedar. Good stand the whole season. But, I try hunt it when the time is right. When I do choose to hunt it I always see deer. The problem is I have to walk through an area that you are very visible. But it has grown up a lot now. So getting there should start to get easier now.

Judging by his body size, he looks to be a 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 year old buck. He should be a hog this coming season if he makes it. Good luck.

I am thinking he will be a 5 1/2 this year. He was a solid 10 point last year too. This year he had that kicker off his left G2. He should have a little more mass an few more kickers this year. Be nice if he had more points but I am not going to hold my breath of that one. Hope we will be looking at pictures of him this summer.

I'm not sure where in the country you're hunting at but based on his body I honestly think he's a 3 1/2 year old, can't always judge them off the rack. Buddy of mine shot a 2 1/2 year old in the 170's a few years back. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen the teeth myself. Either way he's gonna be a pig next year, goodluck.

He was solid buck in 2011 did not have that young 2.5 year old look. He is run down in the picture. He lost a lot of weight. He might be 4.5 this year? I am in Arkansas.

Yea I just noticed the date on the picture was post rut, amazing how much body mass they can lose. I'd say your spot on with 4.5 probably
