Here’s another wildlife image for consideration by each hunter.  Can you answer this question: “When is a White Tail Deer Buck old enough to shoot?” 

An article written by Doug Howlett in the Outdoor Life Magazine, August 2008, pages 30 & 31, compares six stages of development of Whitetail Bucks 1 ½ years old through 6 ½ years old.  Doug offers two clues for comparing each group: Body Language and Antler Development.  Doug includes a third clue, as a form of advice, by referring to the “Shootability” of the buck.  This article will educate the prospective hunter and at the same time help answer this important question: “How Old’s That Buck?”
