Fairgame Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is that seven point I had earlier this month. In this picture you can see how fat he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman20 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Very heavy, he will be a brute. My buddy shot an 8 point, 2.5 year old with a huge body last year - close to 200lbs. Is he on your hit list this year or are you going to see if he makes to next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairgame Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think I'm gonna take him if given the opportunity. I will see whats out there closer to the season. Its still early He is the bigger of the few deer I have on the cam right now but that can change come September October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhunter Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 looks like an aged deer and antlers not getting any bigger than the previous year. could be going the other way. lots of venison though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 He is gonna look great on my butcher table in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairgame Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 He is gonna look great on my butcher table in the garage. The only problem is that I know where he is living. Hopefully he stays where he is and ends up on my butcher block. I have him coming off on two sides of a ridge on different cameras. Multiple night pictures and one pic of him during the day. we shall see. If he goes down by me or my dad, I want to video his weigh in.

If its same deer as last year he is probably going on 3.5 years old. Not old enogh for his antlers to be going downhill, just doesnt have the genetics or proper food source to provide him with the nutrients he needs to grow a really big rack. For sure he isnt starving. look at that belly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabin Fever Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm wondering if it could have something wrong with it internally? Maybe a growth or tumor? The pic just looks like it could have something different going on with it, other than just "fat". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 or once again wacky weather and he has eaten very well or it could be that its a doe with a rack and still pregnant, do you have other pictures of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairgame Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 This is another pic I have. I don't see anything wrong. . I have this other pic that just shows his front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dom Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 or once again wacky weather and he has eaten very well or it could be that its a doe with a rack and still pregnant, do you have other pictures of it? Think you could be correct this deer has a long snout wich indicate's that it is a Doe.Good looking deer any way,would'nt mind puting a shot on it.

nyantler Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 looks like an aged deer and antlers not getting any bigger than the previous year. could be going the other way. lots of venison though. Bucks don't start "going the other way" until very very late in life... very very few bucks except maybe in the ADKs will get old enough in NY to do so.
