This deer is from one of my sothern Illinois farms, which has some unreal tanks running around on it. Neither me or my buddy will shoot this deer, so as long as he sticks around our farm his is safe. I guess the only way we will know his true age is if we are lucky enough to kill him ina few years. I still think he is a great 1 1/2 and I am looking forward to watching his growth over the next few years.
