Not wanting to start an argument, but 11 or 12 year old whitetail probably would not be that healthy. Teeth wear by that age would limit his nutrition intake. I think he is an older buck but not more than 5.5 or 6.5.

There’s 6 years of antlers in the pic. Can’t be 5.5 years old.

And he said there was a couple years they didn’t find it’s sheds.

Hefty looking deer compared to a lot I've seen posted.

Swampwolf go ahead and be a hater , it’s okay, they’re everywhere in the whitetail hunting world. I’ll attach a photo of a shed, the third year we found sheds from him. The smallest guy in the pic, killed the buck, he’s 14 now. Also, I’ll attach a photo tomorrow of the fat we cut off him if you think a deer that old cannot he healthy.🥴 [Linked Image]
I too killed a buck that old last year, ugly in the antler department , unchanged for about 6 years, but healthy as (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman). [Linked Image]
JP, there are only 5 years of sheds in the photo, but I appreciate the allegiance and respect the common sense. Yes there were three years we found none after the first set and one crappy old white chewed onexwe found from another year that didn’t make the photo.

Incredible to find a shed at that age and then all these years later he shoots him.

You’re correct Boco, and definitely correct about it being heftier than most you see on here. Like I said , the pile of fat cut off him likely outweighs the average Georgia doe. That’s what standing canola does to a deer.

Give old Swampwolf a break-he dont understand that Canadian deer have much better healthcare than American deer.

Boco don't let this thread go south.
Good deer your son got, and the story as well.
Looks like some tough bush to hunt

Rvsask, I said 6 years of antlers because I was including the antlers on the buck too lol. Can’t be 5 with 6 sets of antlers in the photo.

Guys...im not a hater. But how does anyone know that those sheds came from that same buck?

That is a super buck for the young man...not questioning that at all. I just dont think that buck is 11 or 12 years old.

Wasn't meant as a "bad" comment at all.

I just dont believe Canadian whitetails, or any whitetail, would be in that good of shape when reaching 11 or 12 years of age.

Great buck though!
