The photo is from the beginning of the month. The location is coastal Mississippi. He's been regular ever since his antlers began sprouting.

Paul, if "beginning of the month" is July, the answer is "not much" this year.

He does have pretty good bases. He might be something to watch. If he shows up again, post some updated pictures. It might be interesting to see how he progresses.

He's not gonna be much but that's all relative. His beams are starting up, not out. Bad first sign.

Im thinking Steak & Buger! Since I only hunt for meat these days, that's the way I see it too.

Paul, if "beginning of the month" is July, the answer is "not much" this year. I don't know a whole lot about the antler growth process. From what I have read and observed, we run a little later down here. I have seen full body shots. He's young. Very tall and lanky. Allowing for a little more girth to grow into the bases, they will be decent by coastal standards given what I believe is his age is. I think he is under two. I'll be on vacation for a while. If I get any shots on my cell cam, I'll post them. Otherwise, it won't be until I come back from that I see what's on the other cameras.

bambi, but has strong pedicles. and decent girth to mains. he needs another 4 years,

He may fork this year but I'm guessing he'll be a goat.

Our rut peaks in early-mid January. I have a small field of Iron clay peas planted. They keep it mowed down. I also have some corn feeders. Other than that, I am not enhancing their diet.

I should note that this is just a 10 acre parcel. It is situated between a small rural subdivision and some pretty big woods that see moderate hunting pressure. I would assume most hunters aren't going to let a deer grow up. That's fairly typical here.

At the risk of coming off as antagonistic - where are ya fellas coming up with "good bases"? The bases aren't even the size of his eyes, and he's in velvet.
