    So we had this buck show up out of the blue last year, no history or anything with him. He was a big bodied 10 point with no tine length. On 11/11 I had pics of him in the AM with a full rack, and by 2 PM he had busted off three tines. Never actually saw him on the hoof last year.

    Late season he pretty much disappeared - no photos after mid December. No sheds, no velvet pictures. Wasn't sure if he made it or not until yesterday.

    The Fridge is back. :rock: Got about 30 pics of him working a scrape and making a rub. Now we just need to find a way to kill him.

    If the weather holds for this afternoon I'm going to a stand about 100 yds from where this camera's at.

    I love the look of those racks like his that go perfectly horizontal. Neat characteristic.

    That for sure is not the same deer, this guy's P1 & P2 are way different, p3 on his right has a branch, not on this guy either. Nice buck though,good luck.

    Amazing what a year will do. I bet his rack is bigger than it looks, because of the huge body and noggin, and he's not even rutted up yet!

    I am amazed at what a year will do to a buck with potential. As everyone stated, fridge is a perfect name for that fat slob.

    I hope you make him a star on BH or Die in the coming weeks! Good luck Justin.
