I know we have some PHD biologists on here. What's your take? I took out this 150pound 6 point as a cull. Good call or would he have blossomed later in life?

1.5 DEF not a cull,,, but guess what ,,,,, it doesnt matter now

Guess we will never know??? If you felt inclined to shoot it then good shot! If you only shot it as a "cull" then I would say you should have let him walk. I'm no biologist but if it were a management property I would not have shot him.
I have no educational background on whitetail biology but this is my opinion of aging bucks. 6 months old=40 to 60lbs, 1.5 yr olds=90 to 120lbs, 2.5 yr olds, 130 to 150 lbs, 3.5 and older 160 plus. Now I know they can weight less than normal after rutting hard, but this deer was not run down at all.
Dat thing still got milk on it's snout. Ida shot his ass
I mounted him because I killed him on family property and he is identical to a deer I killed out if the same stand 3 years earlier. I previous one had a little bigger rack and was 160lbs. They have to be related. Yeah, I know he isn't that big, but I'm much prouder of the deer I take one place than any deer I could go pay to kill.
Probably ate too many crawfish, that is why he weighs more than 120
Ain't no way in hell a 1.5yr old can weight no 150lbs! Had to be a 2.5yr!
Awww shit here we go...get ya popcorn ready and buckle up.
do you have ANY idea how much protein is packed into an acorn????,, I will be willing to bet that there are thousands of 140-150lb 1/5 yr old deer running around. In SC. just b/c a deer doesnt live 50 yds from a soybean, or corn field doesnt mean that he can't get the nutrition he needs to be healty,, also he could have been born in april or may.
I really would like to know the exact age of the deer I kill, but every time I have asked multiple people who claim to know how to age a deer, I get different answers. If you ask 5 people to look at a jaw bone, you won't have more than 3 responses that are the same.
2.5. I wouldn't have shot him and I def wouldn't have mounted him but then again I'm not a pussy like you.
I'd suggest culling the bucks that are small bodied with little nub antlers on their heads.
Sometimes have white spots on them cuz they are so sickly.
Ain't never gunna be nuttin.
