Funky whitetail rack

[Rhettster433]

We have this odd young buck and i just wanted to share him. He seems very healthy. Chased does during rut. His body seems to be in great condition. He is only 2ish years old from what i can tell but his rack is just so odd. Is this one you would cull or let him grow to see how weird he gets?

Zero reason to cull a young buck, cull doe. I would bet his rack won’t be that goofy next year and you might not even recognize him!

The only time I try to cull a buck is when I have a 4-5+ year old buck that scores lower and prevents “better” mature deer from being on my property more frequently (only room for 1-2 permanent mature deer).

Shooting a 2-3 year old is a great way to ensure you never have a chance to shoot a giant mature deer in a few years. An average 130” 3 year old is what makes 170”+ mature deer.
