Is this a yearling???
 

I have pics of does bigger than him. He has no brow tines and is a 6 point. If he is as young as I think he has some good genetics I guess.


Thanks for any opinions guys. I think I should let him walk unless my daughter gets a good shot at him. She is 7 and we are on a lease with 100 other people that WILL shoot if they see him.

he looks like he is small bodied but if he is a yearling those are some good genetics

Wow does he have a tiny body, looks to be a young buck with good genetics.

I once saw a fawn that still had spots on it.. I couldnt believe he had a 3 inch spike on top of his head. A few years later my cousin found a dead buck that scored 187 right in that area. I think it may have been that little fawn I saw although there still are some super sized bucks right around there.

He has an awfully long nose to be a yearling, but just my opinion.

No way that buck is a yearling with that mass. I agree the body size is small for those horns!

I won't shoot him unless I can tell he is an older deer that is just small but he better not let my little girl see him.

My ma has been seeing two tiny bucks with what she says "giant racks" on them. Wonder if it's something like what you've got going here because that's a TINY body and a pretty darn nice rack. For the size of the body that is.

Your lease literally has 100 other people on it, or are you just exaggerating? How many acres is it?

my buddy saw a young 12 point (said it didnt have much mass but the genetics are there) saturday he said next year should be a bruiser but he passed knowing there are bigger bucks

no way on a yearling, some where between 2-3 years old...in texas the deer are small bodied, thats why the racks looks so big lol
he has a year or so, he will develop brow tines and be a nice 10, let em go and try again in a few years. i defiantly know the mentality of someone else will kill him if i dont, so yall just have a good time.

We have right at 100 members. Each member is allowed to bring immediate famly: children and wife. The acreage is about 34,000 so plenty of room for all.

He has allot of white around his eyes and his nose to be young. I'd say he is as big as he is going to get. But I don't know anything about Texas deer trates... Maybe just a runt with big antlers...

Gotcha, 1/2 section each hunter is plenty. This isn't in Eastern OK is it? If so, is it the Fisher Ranch?

southeast OK, blackfork mountains.

Most likely, this is just a buck with some bad genetics to not have brow tines. Also, it may just be malnourished to have a smaller body. If its in the mountains, there is most likely not any farms and food plots?

No farms or food plots but plenty of graze and acorns. If his size is from genetics he needs taken out. Either way I hope my daughter gets a shot at him. Heck by the end of season I may be glad to get a shot at him.

This just sparked a memory of a deer I saw last year... was the WEIRDEST thing I've ever seen...

I was driving along for work and suddenly I see this deer, that wasn't much bigger than a jack russell terrier... hobbling along up a ditch. I stopped my truck and watched it for a good 5 minutes. This thing was TINY! It didn't have any spots, and I don't think it was a fawn from that year... is it possible that it was a dwarf? It was really bizarre.

that is at least a 2&1/2 yr old dear. Even still he has nice mass. I'd agree that if anything its more of a malnourished than a yearling with Good genetics. Nice looking buck tho

his brow tines will come in eventually

Got to thinking, which is dangerous, what are the chances of this being an antlered doe??
