Got any of him from last year? I'd say somewhat bigger than he was in previous years.

Good odds on that. There are a lot of sub-125 8s in the woods and on walls.

This may be him from last season but I'm not sure. It's a brand new property that we just got so Im not exactly sure as to what all we have out there.

This year will have more protein in the summer/spring food then we have seen really ever so all the deer should have better the average antler growth. After that, it is all based on age. The deer in the top picture needs a couple more years. Only issue is will the food be there next year like it is this year.

I predict a lot of young deer will get shot this year.

Hard to tell much from that pic. He will put on 45% of his antler growth between now and July 1st. He appears to have decent mass and pretty good growth so far. His age appears to be middle-age(3-4) but he could be even a bit older with a better pic. Get some pics in early to mid July and he will look a lot better. welcome

Looks like a good start, couldn't begin to guess on what he will turn into, but would say he will be a nice one. I have never been good at aging in the summer months, so won't even venture a guess.

Good luck up

Impossible to guess from early antler growth pictures where he could or may end up ultimately. Also, nearly impossible to estimate deer from full antler growth to very early antler growth without identifying features, i.e., notched ears, scars, etc.
