LAST EDITED ON Nov-18-13 AT 05:24PM (MST)[p]I'm tired of the other thread so I started a new one.
This is the 3rd year they've hunted the island for deer and sheep. W.D. Martin bought the 1st tag and hunted in 2011. The buck he killed, named WD40, I had filmed the 2 years previous. In 2009 it was IMO a 3 or 4 year old 10x9 in the 185-190 range. In 2010, he was about 36 wide and his sheds went 230. When killed he was 39 wide and scored 239. So at most he was 6 when killed
The state hunter killed a buck called 38 Special and I had only seen once the year before from about 2 miles away. Those sheds scored 90 and 109, so maybe he went mid 220's. His body was smaller than WD's, so maybe 5.
In 2012, Denny killed Splitter. It was the 3rd year I filmed him, and both Doyle and I thought he was 3 ? the 1st year we saw in Nov 2010. I figured he was 185ish. The next year he ballooned to 235, and then again when killed he was 270.
That same year, the state hunter killed the oldest buck of the 6 killed. I filmed him in 2010, 2011 and 2012. He was 240+, 235, and 254 in those 3 years, I talked to a couple guys who watched him in 2009, and they thought he was about 215. So with 4 years of being over 200, I would guess he was 8.
2013. There is only 3 years of history with this buck of Dennys. His 2011/2012 sheds score 205, and his 2012/2013 sheds were low 220?s. That was the 1st year I filmed him, and this year he went 247, and I'd guess he was 6.
Last year was my 1st seeing the state hunters buck, which Doyle appropriately named Frame. I figured he was 5 or 6 when killed, but heard his teeth were really worn down, so I don't know. I think last year would have been his 1st 200 inch set, but I haven't had a close look at his sheds, or scored them to know. He was close to a 205 inch buck last year.
It was long, but I hope I answered your question.

Theres logic, and theres women. They don't go together.
