iayo it's the angle of the cam and the fact that those are "pics of pics" that my neighbor took from his computer screen via his cell. The deer is around 185-190 (liveweight) and that's about in the top mid-avg for our 3yr olds down here. (I'm on the river, if you get 2-3 miles outside the river bottom the size and body weights drop considerably in this region of west TN!) The biggest 3s we have taken were 220# and I can show you some 4+yr olds I took pics of back in late Sept that are easily 250+.

Here's another 3yr old that I've seen half a dozen times this season and in the same general area that the above 8 has been seen in. He's a 10 (4x5 with a sticker on his right G-2). He's another 180-190#er it's just easier to see his body size and proportion because this is a pic I took with a good camera, at 45yds thru the fog during our second morning of muzzleloader season last month. The big 8 is more "race horse" built as his body is actually longer and more "athletic" whereby this 10 is more "compact and pudgy" by comparison. Standing side by side, the 8 is a good bit bigger everywhere compared to the 10pt.

ps
I can appreciate what Oldtimr said, many feel that way and I'm not offended by it. My grandfathers from Williamsport, PA (been in MS since "The War" so he's more southerner than yankee anymore. ) and I know quite a few people up there have the same sentiment. Down here in "deerville" we have more deer than people so we have NO problem just filling the freezer and aren't restricted by low bag limits. In fact my farm is in "Unit L" in west TN which is for "Liberal bag limits" (NOT politics! ) and beginning with our bow season in late Sept running thru our last juvie gun which is in mid-Jan, we can take 3 does PER DAY, PER HUNTER! If you shot 3 per day, everyday the number would be nearly 300! So I'll usually have 3-4 nice, plump does processed each season. The cull and trophy buck meat I donate to "Hunters for the Hungry" via our local processor. I'd MUCH rather have a nice 1-3yr old doe on the grill than a ol juiced up, ruttin 3+ yr old buck! Body weight wise, our bucks surpass even our largest does by their 2nd year. We've killed some OLD, long "coke bottle nosed" does with huge, fat bodies and they'll be pushing it to weigh over 140-150#. Most of the mature does we take are in the 130# range (all weights I give are live weight). On my river bottom property most of the 2yr olds will weigh 150# give or take 10#. The 1yr olds bucks are considerably smaller, I'd say 120-130# giver take 10#.
