Late to the game I was going to say sausage
I never do the "this one should make book in XXX years " or " age this one " You can't count on a free ranging low fence deer to be around year after year like a pet dog or something. Just my uneducated opinion based on hunting for a good while, but I'd say 50/50 chance ideally. There's natural predation, fighting other deer, parasites, diseases, inclement weather, road kill, poaching, road hunting, vandals shooting JFTHOI, feral dog packs, etc. About the only sure way to say that so-and-so deer will be there to see is to high fence a few sections and feed and medicate your deer like feed lot cattle I don't have any problem with those that do

give Paul a break ,maybe there`s still a little hope for the horns to get bigger someday ," yes i know horns on a deer are really called antlers greez " . another thing once in a while a smart deer gets old and does have big horns/antlers it does happen in the wild too, some of us let them grow.

That’s a young deer, like probably his first set of horns.

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. Aww man, with bases like that he’ll be world class by next year!! What he becomes depends a lot on what he eats. Good food, good growth.

Looks like this is going to be about it for him for this year. That velvet should be coming off any day now.

Interesting that he branched at all, but given that he has brow tines he might be more than 18 months old. Seven deer in the yard this morning and no velvet on the buck up here.
