Let me grow!

here he is last year. Let them grow and this is what you get!

that is a nice one there good luck to you

thats a real stud there and definitely looks 4-1/2 or more. Interesting the pic from last year has a nice drop tine but not the one from this year. Are you certain its the same deer?

Yes, I am certain it is the same deer. The 'drop tine' you see in the older picture is not really a true drop tine. It is actually the main beam that turned down. I have other pics of him that show this at a different angle. He has the same kicker too. Definitely the same deer though. He has been coming to my feeder/stand for four weeks now. I will be there on thursday to try to get him. Will post a picture if I get him.

Where's all the deer experts? I remember seeing a post about a guy on LAS that is very good at aging deer. Can someone take a guess at his age? Leaving early Thursday morning to go to the farm to take a shot at him.

Have you seen this deer on your cameras in the daylight? Did you see him last year and the daylight and pass on him? rnrnMy guess is no on both accounts because that would have been a dead deer last year!

Well, Thanksgiving was especially a good day for me. I finally tracked down the elusive 'droptine' buck. Here's the story (short version). I got on the stand at 2:30pm, fell asleep only to wake to see the buck standing near the treeline of the pipeline. I put my gun in the window to the right to dial him in and he was gone. I looked to the left pipeline and he walked out a minute later to meet my 7 mm short mag. He did not take another step. He has 11 countable points, split brow tines, 16 inch inside spread and 22 inch main beams. Field dressed at 185#. Persistence pays!

Head: I did pass on him last year and the year before, but not this year. Thanks.

That's a great buck and story.

Thanks Wideback. He is my best buck yet!
