This is at 2.5 and when he first got noticed. He was a regular on camera and was close to getting shot twice. Hundreds upon hundreds of pics of him that year. He was big bully also, running deer off of cam locations that had corn (during January/Feb.)
Here he is last season, first glimpse we had was in velvet and got video of him making a rub. He sprouted some awkward brow tines and put on some mass but kept the "Big 6" frame. He was completely nocturnal all season. Pics all through season until March.
This is him this year, his brows seemed to have gotten a bit longer but the jump in mass is impressive. I have a stand that I believe may give me an opportunity to get a shot at him. I am hoping our other cam has gotten him after these pics, the infra red is cool and all but I'd like to see full color.
