    Beautiful deer, would guess him not to be an old timer, 5 1/2 at the oldest. Looks like about a 155 inch frame plus the junk, somewhere in the 170s gross. IMO
    Best trim the sticks away to get un impeded pics. What region is that, the peace?
    You got a good spot there, seems like there is usually multiple big bucks in those kind of spots. How about a shed pic? Good luck on the hunt.

    Thanks for all your estimates and feedback! Ya I was thinking 4.5 - 5.5 yrs old but had no clue as to the score. I told the wife that if she happens to come home during the last 2 weeks of November and can't find me, she'll know exactly where I'll be.

    Here's a few photos of the sheds I found about 1km-2km away from where this buck on camera was.







    I always wonder what animals like to chew on antlers? Wolves or coyotes was what I'm guessing - anybody know what animals like to chew on antlers?

    I don't see any drop tines on those sheds .... so I doubt those are related to that buck , mice and other rodents chew on antlers

    You bet I know these are from a different deer. Interesting that mice and rodents eat them. Thanks for letting me know

    4.5@155. He doesn't look super thick yet. He's a beauty for sure.

    That deer is definitely scoring higher than 150’s gross. He got somewhere around 20 inches of extras. I figure he’s around 5.5 years old. Cool buck for sure and looks like he could definitely grow! The country I hunt most of the deer don’t get much bigger than that even if they hit 6+ years of age.
    I'm sure the wolves are not in the area to howl Kumbaya at the moon and eat granola. "Ourea"
