Actually they aged 5 and 6 years old. The 8 pt was 6, I know genitics and nutrition play the major points on antler growth and body size. But I wonder if this 8 pt wasn't injured one time at a younger age. He weighed 211 lbs with a wide rack and ok main beam length.

Base, I'm prolly not as learned as you on aging em, but my guess would be that the 8 pointer was just old/headed down hill (6.5 is an old deer in my book),,,, not injured.... good one, regardless...
Oh, and tell your wife "nice rack", for me.....******************************************* ************************************

LOL Tusk, I would tell her but like I said if she saw her picture w/o make up I might be outside with the dog Bear and the cat Tiger. I had my my taxidermy guy age them. Great memory indeed, she hasn't shot her rifle more than 10 times total.
I'm just a good guide, lol
