Whitetail Deer HuntingGain a better understanding of the World's most popular big game animal and the techniques that will help you become a better deer hunter.
Just got into using a trailcam and really haven't seen many deer in velvet to be able to relate antler growth. Can anyone take a look at these pictures and give me an idea of what I will be seeing around shooting season?
Im guessing a good 9 or 10 pointer and it looks like it will be about 18 inches wide. Looks like a good buck to me since its early in the season yet and there not fully grown.
2 1/2 year old, he clearly won't develop any more than 8 scorable points and won't be very tall at all. Looks to be about ear tip to ear tip wide. He'll be a decent buck..... in a couple more seasons.

For perspective, here is your average 3 1/2 year old right now. This LR pic is from 6/12
