don't have a clue why it downloaded so bad,,terrible quality,,,,sorry

[Whonnock Boy]

I think that's a pretty good guess. Or possible old injury that hampered antler growth this year????

[Ddog]

he's pretty big old looking body too

[PressurePoint]

I bet that ol boy has fathered his fair share of fawns. The ol circle of life. He would be at his prime to be taken as a management buck.

I would of thought they'd die before regressing to that small of antlers :mrgreen: I think Whonnock is right, an injury or deficiency in nutrition/minerals might have pulled all the oomph out of his antler growth

[Ddog]

ya never thought of an injury,,but on my video ( it really clear,,don't know why it did that after downloading it) he just looks old,, beat up,, legs are wobbly looking,,ill try and get another video of him up, see if its better quality

Bahahaha! I was wondering if it was just having that effect on me.

He doesn't look super old to me. I'd have to second him having an injury...

I've seen video of old buck, they look like an old geezer walking around, slow and shaky and minding their own business. I don't see that in this video.

[Chopper]

They get so decrepit, old deer tipically starve to death, due to teeth warring down. So the have old reverted heavy antlers and small boodies. A really old buck can easily lose 100lbs in his final 2 years.

im just elaboratign on Buckmeisters post a bit more ...

[Ddog]

thats the deer in the video,,he's so old he can't even walk properly, i can't get a better video up don't know why it happens but everytime i try to load it to photo bucket it gets all pixels and distorted, but that buck is no youngster with an injury, he's all wobbly and legs are bent in, he looks like he needs a walker, he's all beat up to, hair patches missing and he is so much bigger than the other spiker in the videos, they all seem to run from him as if they were teasing him.
each to their own opinion but what i see is an ancient old deer that can barely chew his food anymore,,sorry i can't get a better quality video up.

If you can see it better than whats posted i litterally just cant see clearly, if hes what you described, he could easily be between 10-12 ... depending on the weather and preasure in the area. If a predator doesn't get him, and he has a mild climate, good diet and no stress ... he will likely be 10 years old

like i said, when there teeth crap out, a 230-250 lb buck wil lose 100lbs of body mass in his last 2 years. Its unreal, like your saying, they get really decrepit. It really starts to happan around 8 yeas old

th

there are lots of videos on youtube about the life cycle of wild and captive deer ... surf around when u get time, its cool to see and all very interesting
