Question
A few weeks ago I asked about an injured deer. Here’s some better pictures of him. I think he’s doing ok but wonder how well he’ll fair this winter. We only get to tag one good buck. Being on a small track with neighbors who hunt it is hard to let deer get some age on them. He’s at the top of our age range that we’re seeing on camera and he’s probably in the top 2 pr 3 antler wise so I’m hoping to make him my 2015 buck and my first deer with a bow. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Marcey,

The buck appears to have good body weight!  That’s a good indicator he’s doing fine.  

Any buck that’s one of the oldest in the neighborhood sounds like a good candidate for your wish list!  

Keep me posted and enjoy creation,
