I used to think that I was good at judging deer and this year I shot a nice two year old thinking it was a three. Came in fast thought it was bigger took the shot then realized it was a younger deer! Really wished I would have studied the deer better! Oh well I never filled my tag last year so...
After the doe comment was made I started thinking about our doe and fawn count. I think all I've seen are single fawns so far this year so there might be more to the harshness of winter than a guy thinks. Hmmm.
At first glance this deer looks big then you start looking him over and he doesn't seem to be that big any more. However it would be nice to see him make it two years and then see what he does.
I am starting to think that trail cameras can be deceiving at times and make you think you have a...
The one that looks blind is a ten point who is getting a pass from me. However the eight was a three year old last year and he should be a four year old this year. I believe the two deer are brothers but u can't be sure till u shoot both and check their DNA :). In that area the only deer I'll...

Thanks for all the comments, I keep looking at this deer and trying to figure out what age he is. The more I look at it I think he is an older deer. Won't score high but I am hoping he will go mid 140's. My last year in Iowa I need to make it a good one. :)
Well I am new to the cite and thought I would share this one I got pix of near one of my stands. Looks like a good 4.5 year old (I think) and I think this is one I past when he was a two year old. He was a thin racked ten then and now looks like he is getting better.
Well I hope everyone is...
