Well he is this years fawn. Almost deer version of veal. If thats what you want, around 25 lbs of meat thats o.k. with me. (Butchered one once a guy arrowed,18 lbs). Paralyzed buddy killed one and i,m happy for him.
Next year he,d have his first rack. If good things going for him 6 pts plus. still not a wise deer and vulnerable. If his mother still alive and he showed interest in breeding he would get run off and be more vulnerable in a new area. Catching on the following year,but the one after would be showing his potential. Another year or two a challenge to hunt. If leaving deer for future an option he,d be one to keep. Your call.
