    Another thing is they could have messed them up in velvet and it made them grow like that I would give them another year and see what they do !

      None of those in the photos are mature yet, and several of the weird ones just appear to just be 1-year anomalies. I'd leave most of them. The closest deer to the camera in the second photo may be the only exception.

        Those need to live a year or move.

        Imo-many deer get killed in the name of management just so someone can shoot a deer. It was said above, cull deer need to be determined on a variety of things, not just the number of hunters on the lease.

          They all get a pass, especially the one that looks like a double beam (with axis)

              I’ve noticed this a whole lot also on places where there are a lot of members.

              we have killed two 8 year olds the last two years. It’s cool to see them get to that age. Check this war horse out we killed last year

                In a low fence environment, you can’t change your genetic makeup with a rifle or bow. I don’t shoot anything that’s not 5 or older no matter what. You aren’t making your herd better genetically by doing so. “Culling” on a low fence place is just taking a mouth off the place.

                        Yup, the term cull was invented to justify killing another buck.

                          The majority of “freak” deer damaged their antlers while in velvet. There are very few genetic freaks.

                              Guys I grew up huntIng with “ Short dog catchers....CULL!”. Yeah just a justification to kill a buck and not use your trophy tag. I’ve done it plenty. Not so much no more. It’s just deer.
