    Default Age?

    I think we’ve had photos of this guy last few years. Rack seems to go down each year. No one on the property (2000 acres) has been able to put eyes on him. He had both eyes last year. How old you reckon he is?

    Is he blind in his right eye or is it that just how the picture looks?

    Blind. I can’t find the older photos of him. It almost looks like he lost his eye. From fighting maybe?

    Dang why couldn't you have started this one before the dentist took his vacay.


    I'll say older than 5. After that it's really a guessing game unless you send his teeth off to a lab

    Hard to say with that neck swollen up like that but an easy 4.5 -5 year old. Healthy looking deer (minus the eye), no sway back, etc. so I would doubt if he's much older than 5.

    That deer is old. Look at the pot belly on that thing and the curve in his back. Over 4.5 is hard in a picture. So I say 4.5+.

    When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home. -Tecumseh-

    Deer like that are true trophies, in my opinion, when taken.

    Old and a cool looking deer.

    Hope you get a chance at him. He'd be a real prize.

    Heck yeah, and I'd have him mounted with a missing eye.
