A lot of potential right there . That's a good amount of horns for that thin chest . Will be a good one someday ,I would think .

I'm assuming the hunting pressure is not over the top in your neck of the woods? A few years ago we filmed and took still pics of a really nice buck on property where I worked.Two days after we had last filmed him,a friend of mine shot the same buck chasing a doe on his property,his property is three miles from where we filmed him two days before.
It is always a possibility the Bucks you film today,will be hanging on another's meat pole quite a distance away tomorrow,of course new bucks could always drift in you may have never seen before.

If he is 6 or older, he is defiantly older than he looks. Not knowing his age I would have passed on him for another year or two. I have killed one 7 1/2+ year old but he may not have many years left.

Keeping out cows is paramount unless you like to replace equipment...

We think 6 minimum....but to be sure he don’t look it , I raised a few before in a high fence back when and at 7 one looked maybe 3 ....these deer aint easy to age on the hoof for sure in this part of the world

I learned to age deer in south Texas from Roy Hinds. You may have heard of him. He taught the Game wardens how to do it way back in the day.I killed the 7 1/2 plus on his ranch.
