[QUOTE="Allen, post: 382159, member: 389"] Nice buck for the kid to target. I've always said that I don't have a "score" in mind when I pull the trigger, rather my goal is to simply shoot the biggest one available. One would think I'd have learned to stop guessing at a deer's age, because it's just that...a guess. I've seen farmed deer, who...thanks to genetics and nutrition were able to score well above what that buck would reach as 1.5 yr olds. Nonetheless, I'd guess that buck on public land is 2.5 yrs old and just has good genetics and has benefitted from a good source of potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, magnesium and _____. If'n he looked a little more haggard, I'd have guessed him to be up to 5.5 yrs old. [/QUOTE]
