Question

This is another deer we have on a farm in NE Nebraska. My friend and I think he is a mature deer. We were wondering if you could give us your input and help us out ageing this deer. He is a good looking deer with a lot of character and don’t want to miss an opportunity. Thanks.

Jared,

I agree with you. That buck is more mature than the previous one. His shoulders and hams are much more developed. His neck merges with his chest much closer to his brisket.

There’s more loose skin by his brisket. I estimate this buck is three or four. I hope you have a great encounter with him!

Enjoy creation,
