If its towards the end of the rut where you are, he may have run off 50# the last 3 weeks or so. Ours have already started running off quite a bit, but I was tickled to get a buck at the beginning of our rut (Nov.3), as they are significantly fatter at that time. Bucks I have seen are not eating now and won't eat much for the next 3 weeks or so. They will be a good 50# less when rifle begins at the end of the month.
