He looks like he is a older buck honestly. I dont know if its bc of his horns or what.

I dont't think thats the same deer. The first one is a 1 1/2 yr old, which would make him 2 1/2 this yr. The big spike is definatly 3 1/2, possibly, 4 1/2...but leaning toward 3 1/2.

If that deer were a human it would be put at Whitfield. Wee-tar-did. I find it hard to judge jackedup deer like that. Whatever process that is going on to screw up their rack also always seems to mess up their body size, contour, weight distribution. Even without the rack that deer in the last pic looks far from normal.

agree, the first one is def a 1/12... the second one looks to be and everyone agrees apparently 3 1/2 or 4 1/2; healthy deer just not much up top. i know there is a kid somewhere that would be so happy to put his hands on that rack!

thanks for sharing!!

Don't see how yall age deer by a photo anyway. Biologist sure as hell can't. But just from the body size alone I'd have to say the first on is in his second year of horn growth and the other one is at least in his 3rd. But either way, cow horn spikes like that won't last any longer around our heard than it takes to pull the trigger! Hate them things! Both need to go before they breed anything else! As far as the one in velvet this late? He could easily have been ruptured and may always stay in velvet. Just another reason to get rid of him!

Looks like a dern spike bull to me......But if you do a lot of research on the internet you can judge deer by body size and features alone and I can promise you will be close on your estimate.. the hardest to judge are 3.5 and 4.5... easy to judge a 1.5, 2.5, and 5.5...

Only way to know for sure is a jawbone! Even that is not always 100%!
