with the environment that he's probably living in, you could probably let him go and see what he'd look like in another year and have a chance to actually see him. Probably high acreage, incredibly selective harvest criteria, good neighbors, supplemental feed and water. Everything one needs to grow big. Of course, they probably want him killed so he wont breed exhibiting only 8pts at 4yrs plus. They might give him another year to see if he puts on junk but in certain parts of S Texas, that boys, is a cull deer.
