For all my deer hunter friends.

Oldcoyotetrapper, to me that looks like a shooter! Up here in Central New York that would be a welcomed sight to anybody! I think it would make a fine shooter for your wife.

To Murl B’s point, I know what he’s saying judging by some of the S Texas bucks these fellows post pics of. Truly amazing animals.

Old Coyote Trapper, To me that looks like a 4 1/2 yr old buck, down here in S.Texas we would call him a Cull or Management Buck. Murl B.

I guided in south Texas for 30 years maybe a few more, He isn’t a cull he’d be a management buck. A cull is an extra deer you let your hunter kill cause they paid an exorbitant amount of money to hunt with you. That deer that deer is a solid 6.5 year old. Don’t look at him with when his neck is stretched tight while up in the tree. Look at him when he 1st walks up and see there is no break in the neck goes straight to brisket. I didn’t say he was a super trophy he’s just a nice mature whitetail.

He’s making a place for does to come. They’ll pee n poop in that spot where he did, when they come into estrus and get ready to breed. He will come by there often and check it. Fact lots of bucks will run through there checking that scrape. The branch he’s rubbing on he is leaving his scent from his glands.

Oh definitely south Texas has some truly great genetics. This west Texas has some nice deer but it’s very dry here all though every year I see a few good ones.
 
Some folks, when they see a nice buck just see a nice buck. They don't look for the defining features that helps the observer, if they are a trophy hunter, decide if this is the one to shoot or let him walk til another season. Details will put that true trophy on the wall.

This year our rut is way out of sorts. Normally 1st of Nov till around mid March or whenever the bucks start to loose their antlers. It’s way off for some reason.

Very true I like his 2s and that Muley fork
 
Murl, y’all must have some huge deer down there. I first saw him and thought 5.5+ all day long. That belly and neck means 5.5+ all day down here. Why 5.5+ cause even the one that was shot a few years ago and teeth sent off was 8.5 and they all look the same. When you gotta get help loading them, then they’re shooters in our book.
