I’m a southern boy who is fortunate enough to be able to hunt once a year on my wife’s uncles farm. I’ve hunted Michigan since 2001 with a few missed years after the EHD outbreak several years ago and this is the first buck I’ve taken during this time. Held off on some good deer simply because I thought they were too young and most landowners nearby are interested in increasing the age structure to give those young 8 pointers some time to mature. This deer was aged at 4.5 with a live weight of 215-218 according to some well used scales. Deer had two broken tines so I’d like to see what the other guy looked like.
