me and some buddies was talking I think it's just a 1.5 year old deer but he's big bodied yall think he might have some kinda growth stunt keeping him from growing more than little spikes he's a good 8 inches shorter than all the deer I see him with but is built like a pitbull compared to them I've done named him Donkey couple my buddies say he's older because of his build what y'all think

Never seen one like that.

Definitely a dwarf.

I seen a pic of a 130" buck from Mississippi that was no bigger than a Lab...

think I should take him out to keep from breeding? my buddy killed one not far from here with shorter legs than him and a 6 point rack he looked huge because he was so short like a wiener dog I don't see how it jumped over obstacles wish I still had the pics of him

That is really cool!

he comes out with 2 other spike every day between 4 and 5 across my pond hes kinda funny to watch reminds me of donkey from shrek he was out there with some does and a fawn today I think the fawn was taller than him

Id let him go just for curiosity purposes n c what he looks like next year unless u on a strict management program

I'd call him a three year old.

Does he look funny when he runs?

I killed an 8 point last year that was built similar to that. He had a mature body but he had real short legs. Kind of reminded me of a Shetland pony.

I think the correct term is "little deer". Dwarf is so offensive.

That's right. Don't want to cause protest!

I wonder what Shaw thinks?

I'd name that deer Phil.

I killed a 10 point last week that was much shorter than the other deer in the other area. He had a short body and really short legs, very thick...my processor aged him at 4.5, but he only weighed 160 lbs...

I killed a 10 point last year like that. We just called him a pigmy buck. My buck was at least 4.5 years old and looked huge on trail cam pics because he was always alone and we never had anything to compare him to. Since his legs were so short, and his belly was sagging, he looked like a 180-200 pound deer on camera and his rack also looked bigger. He was still a nice buck but he only had a 14" inside spread. Another member killed a buck just like mine 2 years before I shot mine so there is definitely something genetic causing it.

Wow...really? That is some funny stuff!

I guess when you're a 6 ' 8" GIANT, an AVERAGE height guy like me at just 6 FEET seems a little small!

Bet I only seemed 5'8" or 5'9" standing next to you. An Optical illusion, or maybe due to lack of oxygen way up where your head is.

and oh yeah...

if he aint , he gonna be a hell of a deer at 5 .

lol , i've seen a lotttttttttt of deer but never nothing like that . look at the neck on the little rascal . lol

I hope he makes it another year I've kinda gotten fond of the little feller I'll post up another pic of him next to another deer when I go pull my card it would be pretty cool to see what he looks like with a rack on him I may not have to worry about his genetics getting passed on hed need something to stand on
