Absolutely sure he is 2. Like I said, no sign of a brow time at all. Had pics of him last spring and he was a big forked horn 4.
Man I don't know a ton about deer genetics but I would be excited to see a 1.5 yr old with anything more than pencils or tiny little crab claws. He has great mass for a 2.5 year old, I would show mercy until he looks funky next year.

This is where I realize I'm spoiled. I haven't seen a spike or really anything less than 5 on their 1st set of antlers in years now.

That is hard to believe, but very impressive if so.

I think he could be a nice 8pt next year with some good protein. Definitely let him live. Imho

After seeing the trailcam pic let him walk. He's a young deer.

I see what you mean, but I would still hold out hope that he's a late bloomer, but google isn't so optimistic...

researchers recorded antler information for individual bucks throughout that 23 year period

In short, data from 385 bucks found that 90% of the bucks without brow tines at 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 years of age were spikes as yearlings (1 1/2 years old). All bucks without brow tines at 1 1/2 years old lacked brow tines at 4 1/2 years old. On the other hand, all bucks with 5 or more points as yearlings had both brow tines at maturity. Bucks that had both brow tines as yearlings had both brow tines at 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 years of age.

I don't have any bucks on camera with brows more than an inch or two. The gene pool just doesn't have it in this area. Lots of 2 and 3 yr old 7,8,9 pts with 16 inch spread and short tines.
Its not ideal for management with property bordering meat hunters. I can go years without shooting a buck and be happy as long as it pays off in the end buy my kid really wants a buck so im just trying to pick the one with least potential to go after.

This is about average for our 1.5 year old deer. With unlimited nutrition they just grow up quick. Now if I could just stop poaching and people shooting 3.5 year olds we could grow some monsters.
