its that attitude that keeps your place covered up with big uns, as you know. okay, no more goofin' around! show us fiddy!
The positive out of Colt getting killed is that my neighbor and i have developed a new working relationship that i feel will be productive for both of us in the future.

Kicker3 is still coming regular and dad has had multiple close calls with him, I have another target deer besides Fiddy as Airhead may have been killed. Ill write stories at some point.

Originally posted by GarGuy View PostWell he heard that i had passed Colt and called me. he hasnt owned the property long and didnt know us as he lives out of town. turns out he figured if he passed a deer we would just shoot it. We share pics now several times a week. He is a nice fellow and very interested in letting deer get mature but didnt know it was possible. He was told Colt was 3.5. i shared every year of colts life with him and i think that was a real positive in him understanding that we could have killed Colt every year.

The thing that gives jawbone aging "accuracy" is consistency over time and on each particular piece of property or herd... You can develop a very consistent pattern for the deer on a given property through observation over years of hunting/managing a given herd... Use the jawbones as a reference for specific deer of known age from physical observation to establish your benchmarks and you will be very accurate over time... Comparing a jawbone from deer from all over the state/region... an average is the best you will ever do and you will not be necessarily accurate for a given herd.

With the season starting to wind down a bit, how about posting up some of those hand corn monsters you have been hunting this season?
