Wait two more years if you want to have a chance at a monster. This deer is exactly what you want to give a chance to reach old age (5 1/2-6 1/2). Shoot him 3 years ago if you want tender meat. You are right however.... Between the heavy snows of winter and the still present threat of wolves these prime worn down bucks are largely the first to succumb in the coming hard months. I rarely rarely see them bigger and have found plenty of nice racks like this by watching Ravens. They lead you to the kills. I am nowhere near any agriculture so they don't have that option. Some years I have tried feeding the deer but that becomes a magnate area for wolves. Darned if you do, darned if you don't. Osky

Thousands of pictures and tons of them you would not believe what the deer are doing at them. Osky

OMG Catch I about spit out my coffee. I love trapperman. I laugh so often. With that being said. 4 1/2. Maybe older. We often underage based on horns. We shot a 7 1/2, 51/2, and 41/2 last year off ours. In Northern MN they better be big bodied. Not sure of your area but even with the amount of land my brother and I own if we let him go and he crosses into the neighbors he is dead. Bear I don't really have neighbors, up here there are hunters and hunting " clubs" of course but to be honest there are so many pieces of land 40 acres and bigger that hunters never walk on, a deer can go 100 yards in any direction and never be seen again. The only long shots are over swamps, most grass plenty hi enough to hide the deer, and clear cuts before they grow in. Osky

I can tell everything from this photo. Without doubt he is a four year old, born late in the year and was picked on for being of small size. He didn't have a easy life, his father left him immediately and his mother was strung out on winter peas and was nonetentive. He goes by the name Chet in the deer world and is a romantic. He likes long walks in the rain/snow and loves staring at the sky. He has a sign by his bedding area that says, shoot chickens and ride cowboys. Not sure what that means..... lol,,gotta figure

In all seriousness, I'm going to go with 4 1/2. I'd shoot him the first time I laid eyes on him because that would probably be the first and last time I ever saw him.

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....
