I thought this buck was handsome. I hope he didn't think I looked tasty since he was licking his lips. Nice on Black.
A yearling buck can support a six to eight point rack (antlers) but age is better determined by the replacement and wear of the teeth.
Buck (male deer): Derived from Old English "bucca" or male goat, common Germanic "bukkon," Middle Dutch "boc," and old Norse "bokkr," which were all terms for male deer. Orgins the 1300's.
