thanks for the replies so far....i hope to get many more opinions to try to help figure this guy out. also, maybe i can get a better picture of him, or better yet maybe a shot at him....then i can "ground check" him.

the thing that is throwing me off on this deer is the small body size. usually the deer in my area have a big body by the time the rack is this size. maybe he is just small, or maybe he is young with exceptional genetics.
