I don't see 2-1/2. I see 1-1/2. If that deer is 1.5 i will eat your dirty socks.

He is young and won't make AR I don't think. If you have a good amount of deer you will do a lot more by taking does and getting your ratio and overall population to better numbers than taking out this little guy.

I would leave him be for sure. At least give him one more year to see what he does. I think he may put on some points next year.

I think he may be 2 and a half but still a young deer. shoot him if your lookin for meat but i think he will still be a slick horn 4pt next year with a little more mass. I doesnt matter what anybody on here thinks. myself included. If ya dont want the venison let him go another year.

A very young deer with a 14-15 inch spread during extreme drought conditions should get a pass. I agree just seeing if I can get a rise out of BMD BMD is going to sick his daughter after you - the killing machine.

That deer is too damn young to have any idea what he will be in three or four years. That is the bottom line! I fully agree with this statement and on top of that I dont think the little one will make 13" .

Here's a 4 pt i shot a few years ago, 17.5" wide, field dressed 115 lb. Pretty big for central tx standards. Dunno how old he was, but he wasnt young.

My bud shot a 24 1/2" wide 4 point with lots of mass last year, it was just as exciting as a 160" deer, that thing was neat. 6.5yrs old as well. Let him go, worse case he can only get bigger.

That deer might be a 6 next year, and if he is, he'll still suck antler wise.

The original 4 point in the game cam pictures is a 1 1/2 year old, maybe 2 1/2 at most. Either way, a very young deer. He has a perfect basket frame that is pretty big for his age. What makes you think that frame won't grow into a 6 or 8 point the next year, or even more the next? If you want the meat and just want to shoot something, then tag him or a doe. But if you are managing the property for bigger deer to grow, this would be the last deer I would cull out. I head-shoot does for meat. Does need to be culled more than bucks anyway, just about any place you are hunting in Texas. If he gets to be an old 4 point (which he won't), drill his arse.

He will likely get a pass just to see what he becomes next year. Hopefully we get some rain so he has the opportunity to grow into something bigger, if he has potential.

I personally do not think he will ever amount to anything. The other boys in the first pic appear to be the same age, and are already showing potential. That said I am not sure I would cull him just yet...

That said I am not sure I would cull him just yet... When I compare him to the others, I just think with his body size he should be further along than he is in these pics. We have younger deer with better headgear than this guy.

I love how many people on this board think everyone in the world should have the same goals while hunting that they do. That deer would get shot by one of the kids on our lease at first sight and we would have a great memory of it even if it does not meet the requirements of somebody that hunts across the state and has never been to my place.
To the OP, if he makes you happy and is legal then bust him. It's nobody else's business to tell you what to do.

I truly understand that different parts of the state do different things. Since I hunt in the Hill Country, we have a much higher deer density and are forced to do things differently than other areas of the state.
