Very nice for next year. Looks in great shape. Are deer here will hold antlers as late as mid-March or as early as December. Thanks for the great pic! :D

Nice pic, great to see a nice buck that made it through the deer season.

Looking at your third pic got me thinking, what height do you think that bucks head is off the ground??? The reason I ask is because I am trying to decide how high to hang my hanging corn feeder off the ground. Judging by the pic (which can be deceiving) it looks to me about 3 ft., what do think ??

I spect his back is about 30" & he could get his nose up easy 42" flat footed.

Perfect, thanks Vix, so my idea of three feet high will be just fine.

Good looking deer right there. Nice and tastey....I mean healthy looking. :)

He still looks like a puny little 6 point. :lol:

I doubt he will see another 10 pounds . . .he's in the wrong area to live long. :shock:

He sure looks a lot like your avatar.

Great pics, a couple of the bucks I have on camera still have the antlers it can't be too long before they start dropping them off though. I think sometime in May last year I started getting pics of velvet bucks.

If he can live about 2 more years he should be a dandy he has some potential.

Thanks fopr the pics
