Default Is this a buck that shed?

I've caught a unique(web rack) 6 pt buck on my trail cam earlier, I'm wondering if this is him and he's shed. Do you think he is a 1-1/2 year old? I'm hoping he might make a good buck in the future... (I'm in N. Wisconsin so its not unheard of bucks shedding now.)

It looks like the body of a young buck so you are probably right
about it shedding. He might be a good one next year. Good luck
getting him.

Judging by the face, neck, and body of that deer, I think it's a buck. It doesn't look much like a doe to me.

It might be hard to see with this resolution, but he has a round circle next to his ear where I think the antler was.

Looks like a pedicel on his head to me.

Here he is with his rack, its not much but maybe with some years and better nutrients it might amount to something? Especially if he is a younger deer. I just don't have enough experince with this type of thing.

Its deffinaly a buck that shed its antlers because of the size of him. Also that spot on the top of his head is where the antler was for sure. Its hard to say if it is that exact 6 point though.

Definately a buck that has shed. I also live on WI and have pics of at least 3 with both sides gone and 4 more that are 1/2 racks.
