Tine length is where you're short. I think his G2s are so big your confused. I'm saying 15 inch on G2s and 11 inch G3s. 7 inch brow tines. That's where I think he's higher. Other than that you're close.

110 down
55 up (the G3s hurt him a little, especially the left one)
Heck of an eight point though.

His deer with big frames always surprise me too. That's why I said 15 inch G2s.

I'm curious if you have considered or what you would think about drilling wheat into your vetch late fall (possibly after your application of roundup) letting the deer browse the wheat through the spring then crimping or dragging the stubble. I would hope the wheat stubble would add organic matter and slow down the weeds along with good nutrition. Same could be done with cereal rye but would not be as good for deer and would need to be terminated before seed matures. I have not done this but after seeing your success with vetch and my aggravation with soybeans and peas (deer over browsing) I am wanting to try vetch but want to keep something growing year around while building my organic matter and suppressing weeds.

This year I did experiment with drilling vetch into a standing crop of crimson clover. I think those cultivars could have compatible growth patterns. The crimson is done late April to first of May. Generally the vetch doesn't start growing till early May . So either I will lightly disc the finished crimson or simply let it create a thatch to germinate the vetch in the seed bank. The crimson will have gone to seed for future seasons Either way I have crimson all winter/spring then vetch all summer.
Thats the theory. We will see.
