I pledge to freeze nut sacks. Honestly I was struggling with an inspirational mantra for this fall and winter. Thank you.

I'd say 4.5. I would give him 2 more years and he will be an awesome deer.
Ultimately it is up to you . If it makes you smile. Take him home!
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

Unless he’s eating corn based on your location I’d vote 5.5 maybe 6.5 . Big belly for this time of the year for a thicket deer . He will loose 1/4 of his gross score bare antlers versus velvet. If your looking for a certain antler score he’ll come in about 125 net hard horns . Still great deer for 7 point Summer is when bucks are at their heaviest weight of the year and most will have fat bellies. Those KY bucks must be different. "Thicket deer"....lol

... that deer was born on may 2nd 2019 at 7:27 Am during a light rain shower .. weighed 4.75 lbs.... is right hooved and enjoys long walks in an oak flat when he’s not napping in a youpan thicket
... It also looks like he may have homosexual tendencies Even with all that, I would still shoot him during deer season. He's a keeper!
Most in this country have things people in other countries only dream about. Yet, they want America to be more like those other countries.

"Thicket deer"....lol Might do a little digging Deer put on their heaviest weight in fall NOT summer. Most you can see their ribs in summer No need to store fat up Food is plentiful. As for the term “ thicket deer “ if there isn’t any ag fields around they are eating browse So if that’s the main source of food they find it in thickets! Unless he is feeding in a corn pile Got a novel ideal kill it have him aged and scored get back to me on my evaluation see how close I am

Jbyrd, Whitetail bucks are their heaviest in late summer. With breeding activity begins their movement increases dramatically. Their food intake becomes less important and their weight starts dropping....first they appear to tone up then by post-rut they sometimes look like a bag of bones.
Now doe deer are the opposite as their weight is not tied to their breeding cycle in fall.
Btw...all of Georgia is not a thicket. Get out more.

You might be right but according to NORTH AMERICAN WHITETAIL Dr deer and their biologist FALL is when they put on the MOST fat Just saying. That's when they are the heaviest around here also. Fall Requirements Fall is when bucks are preparing for battles and breeding, does are trying to get in shape for pregnancy and fawns are attempting to put fat on their frames to endure winter. Overall, every deer in your herd is trying to increase fat stores, and to do that they need "energy." Simply put, energy comes from fats and carbohydrates and is among the most important components of a deer's diet, second only to water. Energy is required for all bodily functions and physical activity to take place. Carbohydrates and fats are what give whitetails the energy needed to survive, and they can be stored as fat throughout the fall for use during the rut and succeeding winter. What from that picture makes you say that deer's prime habitat isn't a pine thicket? Is it the pile of apples he's standing over. The extra special ones that grow on an apple pine? OR is it a pine apple if it's under a pine tree?

No Jybrd. That deer was photographed in timber, but where WannaBe lives has as much or more ag fields than the midwest.
WannaBe can chime in about that habitat...
