That would be a lot of mass for what he looks like in that picture (2 1/2). I bet a picture earlier in the year (late October/early November) would have told a different story.
This buck in the picture also goes along with your other thread as "post rut shifter". What an odd year.

Here's an even crazier observation. I got pics of a couple of bucks working the heck out of scrapes at New Years. Crazy, crazy, crazy...

I have 4 active scrapes on my place right now, two of which have popped up in the last 2 weeks.

I walked in to my hunting spot this past Saturday afternoon along an old logging road that runs through a creek bottom, and 3 of the scrapes that have been there since muzzleloader season were cleaned out and being used. Never seen that before this time of year!

Not only do I have pics of bucks working the scrapes, I have does coming in and sniffing the freshly worked scrapes. Something is going on...

That was probably associated with new antler growth.
