[QUOTE="Uncle Rico, post: 235729, member: 2984"] I have only been doing it for a couple years, but obviously 1.5 yr olds are pretty easy to identify, both by antler and body shape. Even the 2.5 yr olds I think are fairly easy to tell by their long legs. The thing I find interesting, at least on our cameras, is that it almost seems like most of our 2.5 yr olds have roughly the same amount of antler in them for that year, but how they get to that number widely varies. For example, many are perfect looking 4x4s. Some are real tall and not as wide. Some are wide with short tines. But at the end of the day, they all generally seem have about the same amount of antler. Once they get beyond that age, I have far more trouble I think. I would actually love to hear more from people re: what they use to identify and follow bucks from year to year. I have a hard time getting good pics of the throat patch it seems. I did have one last year with a notched ear, but I could swear he's around this year without the notch. Do they heal? [/QUOTE]
