It's an average. There are under achievers and there are over achievers. Both fit into this chart.
My thinking is this guy is an under achiever. If he's 3, average around where I hunt is 125"- 135" for a 3 YO. Your guy looks to be in the low 100"s. He could blow up into something next year. Maybe he had a bad year, nutrition wise. Who really knows?
He scored 106". You were spot on. Could have added another 3" with broken tines, but that is splitting hairs.
I figure with the mild winter last year, deer got a head-start on growth this year, and this guy wasn't going to amount to much more than this. At least that's what I'm telling myself .
There's always a chance he could have blown up, but I had fun hunting him this year. If I get a target buck again next year, it'll be game-on all over again!
I was wondering do you or anyone you know have any deer meat forsale or donating????

Where are you located? Since you just posted the same thing 7 times, I'm assuming you really do need it. If you are close to Mt Airy you can have one of the hams from this deer, but let me know asap, since I'm about to butcher it.
I am going to assume he/she pm'd you and has made arrangements to pick up the donated ham???
I never heard anything either. Sometimes help is very difficult to ask for, and even harder to receive.Nope, not a word. It's all butchered up and in the freezer now.
