After stopping in to see the taxidermist, we went through the age jaws he had. We changed from 6 1/2 to 4 1/2yrs. The difference is so slight after 4 that its hard to judge.

Great buck.

[upstatehunter]

Thanks stka, brought the horns home from the taxidermists and have made the rounds showing the guys. I guess I'm still riding the rush of my biggest buck.

Before I read through the post I thought by the mass that it was at least 3.5 years old. Way bigger that anything I've shot at. Really a great looking rack, fairly symmetrical. I think any buck in the ADKs would be a trophy to begin with. What region do you hunt, 5J?

[upstatehunter]

5H, and 5J border is right through town basically.
I also saw a 9pt at the taxidermist's that goes well over 150" Was shot in Tupper lake area last week. Just awesome, mass and spread and tine length.
One of the neat things on this buck is my son found his shed last year. I've been hunting him since!!!

upstatehunter nice mature buck congrats. He definitely looks run down from the rigors of the rut.

[upstatehunter]

Thanks droberts. He was the body size of a 200lb plus deer. Just run down.
I had to wonder how or why, right shoulder was broken, old wound, The top three or four inches of the blade was torn off and pushed up to the backbone. Have to wonder if it was a fight, car, or just fluke running??
