How tall is he?

[220swift]

Trying to get him to 34" in my mind, but I'm just not sure.....

[Deer Tracks]

Beams aren’t that long. Not a lot of curve to them. Best guess 29 or so.

[Bowhica]

Consider the rings on that barrel, if its a 55 gal, are 11" apart. 27"-29" main beam.

I'm terrible at judging axis

[buck_wild]

Sorry he's not 34" IMO. He MIGHT be 30" but I wouldn't be surprised he is 29" ish.

While we are at it, how about this one?

For the 1st buck I’ve got him at 30 and just maybe at 31! A mature axis ranges from 35 to 39” at the shoulder 39 being great genetics and in their prime! The pics are a bit grainy but I think he is maybe 4 and his shoulder is at max 34” but more likely 33” ! If his head was tilted back to where his antlers were vertical then I’m saying that his antlers May be 10 inches max over his shoulder so that would put his height from bottom lip to tip at around 44” , deduct 13” from his bottom lip to his burrs and that would put him 31” max! The second buck is maybe 5 with a much deeper chest but I put him at 29-30”! They are so majestic that judging them can be very hard! Both beautiful specimens though

My daughter has a 29/30 on the wall and your axis is much taller so I'll descent and say he's close if not 34.

My son has a 29” also and your first pic is much taller IMO.











We ain’t helping much are we ?

I'm with you but would even discount all the math a little more bc in the one profile pic we have of now Buck #1, his legs are standing in the depression under the feeder while his head is up in the ledge eating thus I don't think his horn tips are even as high as they appear in the pic. Just saying

You Sir have a valid point! Daaaayngit

The buck with the red circle has been ground checked already.... from last year.
