This is high and tight, passed him multiple times in 2012. Neighbors decided to take a shot at him on december 23rd last day of muzzleloader. must have hit him because he sure is messed up this year. hopefully i can get my wife on him with her bow in the early season. last year tonight behind the house
yea hes been injured some how, which messed up his growth this year. but it could have also happened early in the growing season to the antler itself.
Are you sure that it's the same deer? The deer in the second picture looks like it darker nose than in the first.
the deer uses virtual the exact same pattern this year as last, I would say I am 90 percent it's same deer, have watched him here for three years now.
Too bad he was wounded but looks to be doing pretty good with a funky rack now. Good luck to your wife this fall !! Tim
Cool buck man, I hope you or your wife can get him! That rack is really cool, and it will be cooler knowing that that you patterned him for so long.
yeah I grow those dills atlantic giants for my kids, when they start breaking down I take them down to the swamp and throw a camera on emm, see what comes to them. works pretty good, the deer pound em!
Definetly got some character! I've saw atleast 3 or 4 this year with some really funky racks; one side growin down in front of the bucks eyes, another is a little young 1.5 year old that's has a side that takes a direct 90 degree turn halfway up his horn, and a few others. Gonna be neat to see in a few years.
Looks like it was broke in the last few weeks but has continued to grow anyway . When they break early in velvet and the velvet doesn't get too damaged they can continue growing and make for some funky looking racks . A friend had pics last year of a buck before and after he broke his rack . He went on a mission to shoot that buck , wish he'd of got him cause the buck will never look like that again . Hope your wife gets that one !!!
That is cool. If it's me though.... He looks young, and could be a real whopper next year. You seem to have him patterned... I would consider waiting on him, but he would be cool this year too!
a quick update on his growth, I thought him to be a exceptional two year old last year, this year is a great 3 year old, he will be hard to pass up! will try to get my wife on him if he holds to the pattern h has had for last two years I am pretty sure she will have a shot at him early.
Well she didnt get him with the bow but this morning she took him with the rifle. 250 yard shot, double lung. he went 50 yards or so. here is his final pictures! Will be a cool mount-
