Saw a classic duet between Julio Iglesias and Willie Nelson ( truely beautiful collaboration from 1983). Inspired me to do this thread. We all have had deer that mesmerized and inspired us for a few fleeting moments in time and moved out of our lives forever . So post up the one that got away that you will never forget, the one you loved and lost or maybe the one that is still out there …..

Ill start with a buck named Silo, who showed up in December 2017 as a 4.5 yr old. Became a regular in 2018. I could killed him on virtually every hunt, but he was virtually tame. He taught me so much. Soent half the season trying to not shoot him on accident and the other half trying to keep him from being shot by someone else. He had no fear of humans. He died in September of 2019, shot out of a combine by a crossbow 1.5 miles away. Here are a few pics of our close encounters during the 2018 deer season

I have better pictures on my laptop but here's a few.
Called him just crab claw obviously. I killed a great deer 3rd day if ml in 2019. And decided I wasn't going to kill another deer besides him. 2 years history believe he was 5.5 in these pictures. He was in an awful part of that farm to hunt and kill him. I've never hunted a deer that hard and not killed him especially one that i knew was on us and basically staying on us.I got careless towards the end of the year and ended up bumping him off of our place. Never saw him again, never another trail camera picture. He got killed in 2022 by a guy 1.5 to 2 miles away. He rack was hardly nothing compared to that never would have never scored great anyways. He taught me a lot and made me say a lot of cuss words along the way. Just always thought he was a cool deer. That picture above is the only picture I got of him in daylight that year it was November 15ish and I remembered saying to myself I didn't want to tag out to early I have a stand 60 yards away and had the wind to hunt him then and i no doubt would have been in that stand that evening. Dumb me. Love chasing big mature deer. Hope I never grow tired of it.
