I'm not a hunter... How do you know the buck's age?

Ask him before shooting.**

Jaw bone or catch him on camera for multiple years.

Clint it took me a while, I tried everything but finally!

As for as aging deer, you have to cut the jaw bone out to get their true age. This bad boy was chasing a doe, when I saw his mass I knew he was a good deer. I also shot another Buck a few weeks ago chasing, he had 16 3/4 spread, long G2's.

Hunting > Recruiting! Teach your kids, great family memories.

Ain't that the truth. My best memories as a kid and teenager were hunting with my dad. Can't wait for my son to be old enough to go. He's scared to death of loud noises right now so I may have to gun break him like a lab haha
