He may not be mature but with those short tines, he's never going to score real well. I say shoot him, if you like him. And I agree he's probably somewhere around 19-20 inches inside.

That makes absolutely no since at all...
He is young but has short tines??? How about, he has short tines "because" he is young.
He will never score well??? He is young, there is no tellin the possibilities of what he will be til he is at least 4 years old. His tines could triple in length in 2 years. Not to mention he would probably be even wider than he already is!

moth flying in front of the camera. I get them all the time.

Yep, birds, grass waving, limbs waving, racoons, and small critters outside the lens but in the motion zone, all produce pics with nothing in them. On occasion, you will catch the culprit though.

I don't recall saying he was young, I said he may not be mature. For a deer that is at least 3.5 years old with 1 in. brows and no tines over five inches, he's not likely to be a 150+ inch deer at any point in his life. But if it was a 1 year old spike then you'd be absolutely correct...nice try though.

I agree he won't ever be a high scoring deer. If I decide to shoot him, he will go on my wall. So it will be a trophy for me whether he's 80 inches or 150. Either way, it will be fun just to see him on stand!

Try again...
It's not uncommon for a deer to add 20"-30" from 4.5 to 5.5 years old. Then anther 20"+ from 5.5 to 6.5.
20" added next year could very easily be 5" added per tine, puts him at possibly 10" tines by next year. Then no telling after that!
3.5 is no where near mature, 4.5 ain't it either.
To say that deer could never be 150" is an claim made out of ignorance.

Remember when this thread was just pictures of deer? That was pretty neat.

Thought I'd be nice and share some pics, don't think I'll do that anymore. Guess I'm just ignorant.

Hey don't let these guys get to you. I like seeing all the pictures and appreciate everyone that puts them on here.

My reply was not directed toward you, that's why I quoted another member.
But I also never called anyone ignorant. Just that the comment was made in ignorance, as in uninformed or lacking knowledge.
Please don't let me deter you from posting, or shooting that buck. He is a fine buck and would probably look great on your wall!
