| Re: How old is this young fallow deer?
I think he is a bit older than a year. The first antlers are simple unbranched spikes. By the second or third head palmation starts to show, but, according to my little Deer Society booklet there is so much variation from place to place that "estimation of the age of a buck from its antlers is often inspired guesswork".
