Looking for some info how many points do you think and age I am new to deer hunting. Found rubs and his bed along with tons of what looks like doe tracks. He looked about 200lbs but I could be way off.

My brother was calling with his duck call and we looked up and saw this guy 60 yards off. Got permission yesterday to hunt from a nice farmer who took his corn off yesterday so we went for geese today. Any idea if a duck call sounds like a doe or something...we walked to the back after he ran into the treeline and found the rubs and lots of what looks like doe and fawn tracks everywhere
Looks like a nice 8 point maybe a three year old ...Dutch
Looks like bob he lives in the back next to where you seen him.lol looks like a great mature buck probably 2-1/2---3-1/2 yr old heavy mass and would bet he would go 200 lbs no problem.
Now not to stir the pot but how do you know they are doe tracks? Fawn tracks that's pretty generic but it has been proven that unless you see the deer making the tracks you can't tell if they are made from a mature doe or a young buck
Not saying they are fawn or not just a 50 50 guess there were at least 3-4 different sets of various sizes some from inch and half to roughly 3-4 inches. Lots of food around too corn soy chestnut crab apple. Also some decent size coyote tracks as well http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...84f8caccc7.jpg are these coyote?
4 year old .......but just a guess
Thanks for the feedback rackmanQuote:

dat dere looks like a pretty big god damned deer if i had to say so der eh. see da rack on dat bad boy! dats a rack i could get into! and if i have my way i will!
You know where he has been rubbing so play the wind right and dont trample through his area too much or he will go nocturnal and that will be the end of seeing him for a while. The rut is starting so get a spot ready and he will be all over that field looking for does.
Just realized 94a has no controlled hunt its only 94b so game on this weekend
Good luck.

Your in the Amersturg area. They hold some good mature deer because of the bow only. About 4.5 years old .probably dress out 220 or 240. Excellent buck. I can't see the drow tines but they should be their, a wall hanger 8 . Hunt with the wind and you may have a chance.
Thanks for the advice and info were goint out tomorrow evening hopefully see somethingQuote:

Deer in Canada age much differently because of the heavy burden that winter puts on their bodies. They put body mass on first, and then the racks don't start showing up until 3 or 4. If he is 3, he's one heckuva 3 and you should take him unless you have deer you would rather chase, or are confident he will still be around next year...
Good Luck!
Thanks for the info we hunted twice but no sight of any deer yet. Lots of rubs some srapes and lots of tracks and scat. Set up trail cams today. Were hoping to get sum evidence they are sticking around because the cornis off so less cover maybe they moved on..time will tellQuote:
