This deer appears to be malnourished but is not. He is on a 400 acre farm with lots of food. Last year his left antler was about 12 inches higher than the right antler and had 7 points on it. His physical appearance was the same last year.

Looks like the back bone is drooping and a fairly good belly and not much meat on the hips, I'll guess an old deer, 5 or 6 years old.

I have searched several hundred pictures and don't have a picture from last year but I did see this buck twice while hunting. Three of us have been hunting this 400 acre farm several years and last year was the first time he had been seen and he looked old and poor then just like now. His left antler looked more like a small elk antler than a deer antler and was very tall. The right antler looked normal.

Very hard to age deer in the summer.
I do agree he has some birthdays on him though.
