    Is this a young deer?

    I hate to bump this old post I made but I thought some of the people who gave me their input here would be interested to know this deer was killed by a hunter a few miles away. The text I got from a friend simply said a hunter got the buck and this is the only photo shared so far. Not too far...

    Is this a young deer?

    Do the farms have to test for that stuff?

    If that's the case I wouldn't mind if he spread his genes around a bit :)

    I'm not sure the bottom one is the same deer

    Is this a young deer?

    Yes last year the first sighting he had the character and this year also. I thought he was the result of a car accident but I also always thought that injury related abnormalities cleared up. Is it a sure way to tell its genetic? What do you mean by plus one to two years with antlers? Plus one...

    Is this a young deer?

    I originally thought he might have been a large but immature deer that sustained injuries that caused his antlers to take on a lot of freakish character. But this is several years in a row now he has this character. Do injuries affect the antler growth for only the year after or every year...

    Is this a young deer?

    I've never had a problem saying what area I'm in, it's not like any of the deer are mine that I can keep to myself. And in this area any hunter in a nearby woodlot could get lucky and you may never see the same deer twice. But when it gets that specific to such a large group of readers it made...

    Is this a young deer?

    So I originally posted this trailcam photo from the night before on a Facebook group. I was surprised at every comment saying how young the deer looks and that it still hadn't reach its potential. I'm still not very experienced hunting let alone aging deer. I deleted the post when some members...

    I was hoping to see some late rut activity today but with the big herd and numerous bucks just casually hanging around seems like the book is shut on that in my woods. I dont know if they would stand each other if there was any hit of rut still happening. Did see a second doe group of about 8...

    The craziest amount of deer ive seen at one time filtered through. Probably 20 or so with 5-6 being bucks of all sizes. Something at the front of the woods scared them back towards me and they milled around on edge. Every move i made felt like a pair of eyes were on me. At least one decent buck...

    Strolled right past a doe in the bushes on my way past to the stand. Rain kept her unaware. Now getting my cold shower courtesy Mother nature.

    After a few weeks busy with work travels I finally got to sit again. Took my bow which is probably the dumbest thing but didn't expect to see much. Kicked up 6 does going back and about 4pm had a parade of does all over the woods. Saw a decent buck a little after. Then about 4:40pm I saw a...
