Yeah great buck Matt congrats! One to mount no doubt.
Thanks Jay. I dropped him at the taxidermist today, he is a trophy hunter and he said and I quote “ that’s a decent deer for most people but he is only a 3 1/2 year old and I will not shoot anything less then 4 1/2 so I would have passed” lol
Great buck either way. Congrats.Did you tell him it weighed 195?I know you can’t age them by weight but that would be a huge 3 year old in my experience.
Yes dressed weight was 195. I’m pretty sure the taxidermist wasn’t being critical of my buck he just mentioned that he belonged to a nation wide club that only harvests mature bucks that are at least 4.5 years old. In looking at the 25 + mounts he had lined up to do from this season I did say “good thing everyone doesn’t belong to that club” as there was only one with a better rack then mine. 😂
