    Got this guy on cam? Should I be worried he'll breed or do you think he will grow out of it?

    Give him a year, he's only 1/2 the genetics anyway.

    Hi, I would pass on this deer. Hopefully your big bucks will run him off during the rut.:busted:

    Depends on where you are. If you have two or three buck tags like us here in Texas, I'd whack him in a second. Thats a 2 1/2- 3 1/2 year old buck with crappy, thin tines and a beam sticking out, no growing can be done there really. If you have the tags, shoot him. If you don't, wait 'til the end of the season and if by the last day you haven't shot anything, go take him out

    Might be like that from an injury rather than genes. I would give him one year and see what happens.
