Had this buck come in opening day. He was never closer than 60yds which is farther than I want to shoot sitting down (I’d of killed him if I could have stood). I’d never seen him before, and the pics that follow are from an hour or two after I saw him.
This is from the northern Catskills….this is not ag country and our soils/genetics are not good. By way of explanation, we’ve killed a couple 5 and 6 year old deer that wouldn’t gross more than 115.
I’m interested in your estimates on age.![17A38FC8-CEF4-4392-B583-A79AABB5F6F3.jpeg 17A38FC8-CEF4-4392-B583-A79AABB5F6F3.jpeg](https://deerhunterforum.com/data/attachments/24/24877-0734a5caf4b172258f21e3193d2ec2e9.jpg)
