Oh, hell no. That's fake. Isn't there a photo of that deer laying down with you behind it - snowy maybe?

1.5 y/o bucks r potential 1.5 y/o's. vast majority of hunters can't tell the difference between a 3 yr old and a 6 yr old. Here's another old, old buck I helped a friend kill several days ago. He's at least 6.5, more likely 7.5 Could somebody explain to me, why guys feel the need to add a '.5' to the year of a deer? How do you know that it wasn't born a .3, .4, .6 or a .7? Are your kids aged as 11 and a half year olds? Do they get half-year birthday parties, too? I don't know anybody but deer hunters that do this stuff. Farmers, ranchers and any other normal folk, say their animals/kids are yearlings, two/three/four year olds without having to embellish an extra half year. But rock on, if it makes you feel superior......

We easterners - we're a peculiar bunch.

SKane has killed so many big bucks he can't keep them all straight!

4 point restriction meaning must have at least 4 points on one side.
This reminds me of some of the yahoos in my neck of the woods that "practice deer management". ......."We only shoot eight points or better" Likely half of the 1.5 y/o bucks around here are 8 pts (might different in your locale). So, pass on the seemingly genetically inferior spikes and forks to shoot the better potential 1.5 y/o's. I get the spirit of the restriction, I just see a lot of holes in it. And JDK's son's buck is another example - a hefty, mature buck that would have lived an entire life as a 6pt. We have antler restrictions here too but I can’t imagine a buck like that living till old age in my area where deer drives are still common. Buck that large running through the woods on a drive would likely get ground checked.

How does a black tail taste compared to a whitetail? Darker? LOL Seriously, whitetail tastes better than blacktail.

East TN. 7 years old from our extensive camera history. I have seen and passed this deer 20 times past 3 years. This time he walked in when I was having a bad day and a itchy trigger finger. Not a huge deer. But old and mature for eastern Tn where deer are small. His tooth was sent as well
