Great buck, good for you to let him age.  I think you are right on at 4 1/2.  Wish you were my neighbor.  Mine would blast him!  Not that I blame them but what a difference it makes to see them age.

I don't have the luxury of passing up deer...If I passed that up, the neighbors would take it! Low fences along the Rio Grande make for having to get what's given to you!

I agree with those that think he looks really young...I only say 4.5 because we watched him last year.

The ranch we hunt is 2000 acres. I've hunted it for 5 years and I've talked to guys that hunt within an hour's drive north of us and guys that hunt within 30 mins drive south of us. They say the same thing: there seem to be mature deer that are smaller bodied and mature deer that are larger bodied.

I shot a really nice 8pt last year (won't post pics b/c it was with a compound). We originally thought he was only 3.5   After aging his teeth (which I know isn't 100%) several of us agreed that he was probably 5.5  

Anyway, just wanted to throw that out there for some clarification. Either way, this a really nice buck.

Nice deer for sure. I have never hunted anywhere where I felt like I had the luxury to pss on a 3.5 year old deer or a really nice 2.5 year old deer for that matter.  Best of luck to you and I hope you are well rewarded for the gamble.

I'm so glad I'll never have to worry about such choices...   :eek:

If I even SAW a deer of that magnitude within whatever weapon range I was carrying, I'd likely have a stroke!

I'd pass too...cause I'd be passed out on the ground gasping for air...    :knothead:

I would also let him pass and wait a year or better yet two years and if he survives, he should be quite a trophy.

I'd be looking for his sheds if I could pass on him.

God bless,Mudd
