I'm in the Nashville area.
Cell phone pic of this little guy from the other day. He was hanging out with 6 others behind my barn.
"Behind the Barn"? Up to no good no doubt.

Not the Devil's lettuce?!!
I've told him it would stunt his growth.

So, if he doesn't grow big antlers, we'll know why.

Do you think the big acorn crop and the cicadas will impact antler growth?

Big acorn crop, yes. There is usually bump upwards in average antler size per age-class following a big acorn crop.

Was running at Edwin Warner Park in SW Nashville this morning and I saw a bachelor group of 8 bucks feeding out in a weed field. All bucks had visible antlers. Yearling bucks had spikes up about 3-4 inches. 2+ year-old bucks all had browtines and beams almost to the tips of the ears.
