definitely looks like he'll be a nice one in a few years!

Because you mentioned "management program" I would suggest taking him out of the gene pool based on the fact that he is a 7 pointer. But I dont know what your management goals are.

My management goal is to get as much age on the deer on my property. If that is a 4 or 5 year old 7 or a 4 or 5 year old 10 it does not matter. I am not looking at scores, just mature deer to hunt. Although scores are nice, they are not my top priority.

He won't be the prettiest lookin buck around but he's got it to grow into a big boy. WCL

Do you guys seem to see more bucks during late season or different bucks.

I wouldn't rule out that being a 1.5. Hard to estimate potential based on one snapshot, but as far as antler score, the 7 points is a big negative. Even if he tops out as a 9 point, hurts the score. Good tine length, kind of hard to predict how the beam length and spread will develop.

Yep.. Young buck with good potential..

definite potential let him grow up

he looks real good does he have just 2 points on 1 side

for watever reason yes
