    yes, assuming he is still physically capable of passing on his genes... I have not heard if bucks can go sterile over time, but I assume it's possible.... I have heard of old does going barren. Most bucks likely don't live that long.

    He's an old bruiser, and is likely aggressive (hence the broken side.) He may chase other fertile bucks away and monopolize does without successfully impregnating them.

    Looks broken, but I would still put an arrow in him. Definitely a mature deer.
