Looks like a younger buck but sure a nice set of horns.View attachment 10695
Had an up close encounter this morning.
Might be worth calling your state game biologists.I figured he's 2 1/2 y/o. Another year or two and he'd be a whopper. Unfortunately, he won't make it that far, be lucky to make it through the next few days. He was walking circles, wouldn't even look at me, something not right with him. I could've bulldogged him if I'd wanted. He was pretty thin and stumbling a bit as well.
Possible but late in the season.We've had blue tongue in the past, may be that.
