What A Difference The Rut Makes

[JeffK]

Sure makes it hard to judge a new deer that shows up after the rut. Trail cameras sure help keep up with the age of deer.

Just curious, why don't you think he will make it another year? How old is he?

Look at the last pics. That deer is in bad condition and looks sick. Hunched up and eyes sucked in.

Looks like the pics you see of a CWD deer. He didn’t have much fat on him to begin with but I’d consider that a mercy kill at this point.

I think he just put in a crazy amount of miles in a short time. he is looking a little better today..

Because you lost your nuts?

I had one very similar in weight loss. Was an avg mature deer for us 170-175lb and I killed him last week at 125lb. He wasn’t rutting at all this year so highly doubt he would have made it

That dude has been doing some serious fighting

I have a buck that looks the same way. I’m not sure if he is going to make it. He was going to get a pass regardless this year, but he does not look good. We feed year around and do food plots so lack of food is not a problem.

I am going to give his weight loss process a try!

I think you have figured out my sagging chest problem. Mama really frowns on me chasing around any more. Not sure that I want to bring this up with her though.
