BSK, you said he showed up at age 4.5. How sure are you that he was not 3.5 instead? I know there is no way of telling until he hits the ground, but could it be possible that he is only 5.5 now?

Look at the first pictures of him. Clearly a mature buck at that time (2009). In addition, last year, bucks don't have necks like that until they are 5 1/2.

It really must be almost season!!! BSK is posting new trail cam pics. I'm so ready...

Great buck BTW. THey just look like a different animal at that age no matter the time of the year.

Bryan,
Since you have both summer and fall pics of this buck would you consider him a home boy! What percent of bucks that you have pics of will disperse after velvet?

135-137 True trophy!!

 

[Good time Charlie]

Would this be the 8 point buck you call Droopy?

That looked like a good,mature buck,It was on your PB vids.

Really like that you have been able to photo him the past 3 years and monitor his growth. Wish we could have seen him at 2.5 and 3.5 just for show and tell!! Very nice buck and shows what you are doing on your place is working, and working well!!

This buck has actually changed patterns. The first and second year we got pictures of him, he was exclusively a rut range-expander/shifter, showing up just before peak breeding and disappearing by mid-December. But this year he is a summer resident.

We used to lose 50% of our summer residents each year come fall. But ever since we greatly improved the habitat (especially more sanctuary cover), we only lose around 20%.

I think you're probably right on that score.

He is quite the toad. And the crazy thing is, EVERY picture I have of him was taken in broad daylight. Very strange...

My guess would be mid 130's if he had avg. brow tines, but add an extra 2-3" for each brow tine and he will push 140. Awesome buck!
