He looks pretty young what would you age him at Tahr?
I have shot small stags similar just starting to strip end of march in lean years.

Yeah, those pedicles are high and he wasn't big. I would think his first head from a spiker. 3/4year old maybe? I agree, they seem to be stripped early. We found a tree nearby that was well tonged up by them rubbing their antlers. I will post a little story in the reports section. I actually shot a couple.
