Appropriate name for sure! How old do you figure he is?

I like the funky antler action. First buck I ever shot with my bow. Not a big one but I really like the split main bean. Definitely prefer the nontypicals.

I have several pics of him past few days and 1 pic of him in velvet back in August.

His body features say 3.5 year old.

I like the big bodied old short thick antlered bucks as much as the high scoring ones. This one is just a toad body wise but only a 7 pointer. Was just a 6 last year. He's my second choice this year. Hope he doesn't come within range and tempts me. [Linked Image]

He looks young.
Good chance he'll snap pff that forwards leaning tine.
Let him be a couple years and see what he becomes if your serious about shooting a giant.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Do you really consider a 3 1/2 year old buck an ol boy? I’m curious what you see in that buck that makes you believe he’s 3 1/2.

Ol boy...NOT Old Boy....

My age guess is more about what his physique doesn't have. But he is definitely older than 2.5. He doesn't look like a doe if you cover his antlers. But, he doesn't have the bulk of a 4.5 yr old.

It's a guess based on years of looking at live and dead southern US bucks and their jawbones.

Have had one like that for the last couple of years. We call them crab claws. My farm helper killed the original crab claws in 2018. 10 points, 5 and a half years old. He obviously left his mark. See bucks every year with a crab claw on one side.

Thanks! I always thought you were a 5 1/2 or older kinda buck hunter. Kinda surprised you wanted to go after that one.

JP,
We all like to hunt and kill big bucks and that usually means older bucks, but the one I posted definitely meets my personal qualifications...lol

That split beam rack is his downfall if I see him...

Right on! I hope you don’t get him this year and get him in a year or two lol.

He definitely has character!
