You cant miss him with the split ear.
Good for you, I always laugh when I see deer hunters taking out "inferior bucks" that are only yearlings. Of the factors contributing to antler size under normal circumstances there is nothing more important than allowing them to age. There are countless pics from Kroll and others showing miserable looking spikes and 4 pointers that grow into Booners if allowed to reach 4 years.
If you want to see big ones, you have to let them walk its just that simple.

They can be junk their first 3 years and in year 4 and 5 just explode into beautiful racks. What a lot of people don't understand is year 5 is the year they are putting the least amount of protein into building their body and the most into their horns. letting deer reach that 5 year mark is prime whenever taking a trophy.
We've been managing our place the last 7 years and each year we get better and better deer along with more and more bucks by just letting them walk and culling out the truly inferior deer.

I agree. Age is a huge factor and one of the few you have some control over. I can't change genetics. I do plant spring plots and put out minerals but that doesn't do as much as just giving a deer some time.
