This buck's antlers at first appear tomake himan oddshapespike but I think this is an older deer. I'm interestedin what others have to say about him?

My opinion, doesn't look that old to me. He is thick, but he has a short muzzle and ears. I'd say if you wanna shoot him- shoot him, he would eat good, but he might make a nice wierd rack in a couple of more years! If he stepped out in front of me right now, i'd smoke him, then again, I hunt public land.:letsparty

I would say that deer is at least3 1/2 yrs old and I probably would shoot him. I think a better comparision could be made if there are other deer in the pics to size him up. (not sure where the pic was taken). But the problem is if he is a maturing buck that could breed this year, a full antlered deer isnt really going to mess with him because he can hurt them pretty bad with the bladed long cow horns.

Agreed maybe older but put him down when you get a chance, I have been after one for a while but just cant seem to get near him, maybe that is why he has lived so long.:doh

I agree with buckwild. Young deer with short muzzle and skinny body and neck. I think he is an above avg 1st year spike and with another year or two of growth will be a stud. If you had pics of him last year and knew he was the same deer with bad genes I'd say pile him up but if your trying to grow big bucks then that one needs to walk in my book.
