I was worried about this season as I hadn't seen the fall shift yet but last couple days it's like a switch was flipped and bucks are showing up. Got one I'm interested in that I've been watching grow up for several years and this year he looks good.

Not yet, unfortunately. I get a couple every year that reach 5.5yrs old but almost never see a 6.5yr+. In hindsight I probably should have shot him because I knew the chance of him living another year would be almost zero.
Ironically I say that and this year I actually have a 6yr old showing up. I think that's still too young for decline but his rack sure shrank from previous years. Now he looks like a 2yr old rack on a mature body. In video his movements are super slow and stiff, and he walks like an old cowboy who spent too much time in the saddle lol.
I think i enjoy watching the life cycle of these bucks maybe more than hunting them.

It's getting exciting! Good luck on that stud Ski! I agree that the switch has flipped. There were 4 new bucks in the last 48 hours at my place one of which is fully mature.
