Thoughts on how big he?ll get

schmee24 · Aug 11, 2019

I have a few bucks on my cam that seem behind a lot of the deer being posted in northern Az as far as antler growth. What's your thoughts on how big they'll get and does Central AZ have slower antler growth? This is my first year of cameras in AZ so not sure what to expect. 2 different deer, the wider looks to have possible potential but not sure..

The top buck has just over a month left to grow from the date posted on the pic. I bet he'll turn into a nice 4 pt (for sure on his left antler) and when done could be anywhere between 130-150". Bottom buck looks like a small two year old buck and will probably add a little height and fork into a small 2-3 pt.

This is the buck I meant to post. I believe wider than the first one.

He's wide.....but I doubt he'll be more than a big forkie. Most of the desert Bucks I've seen are already forked...JMO

Ok no worries! Just trying to decide on moving cams to a different spot. Looking to find a bruiser. Although there have been a decent amount of small bucks on my cams looking like might need to try a new area for some better genetics

I would keep that cam right there THOSE Bucks might have a dad somewhere close. Buy another cam if you want set another water hole.
