The place I hunt has a good many 7-8 year old bucks. Most of them die from
old age. Here’s one from this year. He never had more than 125” of antler
and he’s headed downhill. He will probably make it one
more year and will have 2 inch tines next year.

They don’t all grow big racks when they get older.
A few do.
