| 6 points without brow tines - angus1838 on 1/17/13 at 5:25 pm
I am guessing he is about 2.5 years old but I could be way off. Decent rack but no brow tines. Is it bad genetics or do you think given another year or so he will develop them? WYSI or not?

This bruiser is in a creek bottom down from my house. I have only seen him twice in daylight and season wasn' t in. Me and little angus are going to spend the day on the creek tomorrow to see if we can bump him up.
