Did you age him? SK, from my history with him and his body weight and total mass throughout his antlers I’m aging him at 5 1/2yrs minimum could have possibly been a 6 1/2 also but I’m betting on 5 1/2.

great buck, really like that form as well. Pretty sure it’s a McKenzie form and it’s considered a semi-sneak wall pedestal. Taxidermist did an outstanding job on him ... I wish I had more animals to take to him! Lol
