Old School Hunting UPDATED PICS

Congrats on a cool hunt and kill!

Normally I would say that buck's rack is due to pedicle damage. But the close-up of his left (spike) antler makes me think that spike was due to damage to the antler when it was first growing, probably early May.

It's due to a neck injury from last year. 🤣

That's some sweet detail on that stock. Very nice. Congrats on the deer as well. Let us know if it is the C&R from last year. That would be cool.

If it's damage to the pedicle, is it permanent damage? If it's damage to the soft antler is that permanent? Or would next year it would have grown correctly?

I'm probably going to open a big can of worms here, but where do you stand on cull bucks? Obviously a 4 year old spike or something crazy like that could be a cull, but I think it's somewhat rare. I watched a documentary years ago about whitetails in a fence that were ear tagged for antler research. The conclusion was some years a buck would have a messed up rack due to injury or damage, then the next year he was usually fine.

What happened?

I got home from work a little early today so I jumped on the 4 wheeler and went to the bean field. Saw a 6pt and a 4pt no sooner than I set up. They went on about their business and about 15 minutes later a nice 8 pt came barreling by me at 15-20 yds on a mission. He stopped at the woodline...

My wife thanks you for not being able to access your safe.

I don't even know why I moved the dang keys. One of those "I'll move them here to remember where they're at stupid moves" lol

And I think if you get down to $2,000 that I'm still good with that lol
