The "Big 6" from 2.5 to 4.5

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.

This cam had been there for the last month and nothing but does showed up. I checked it at 11:30 the same morning he showed up. I'll take that as a sign of good things to come.

Love the mass! Did he damage his right MB? His beam tip doesn't look like it comes out all the way. Hope you put that pig down, good luck!

Not sure, from the looks of it he has a tight curl on his right side. I'll try and lighten the pic up a bit, I have one with his head down but he is in the process of turning when camera snapped the picture.

The only other pic I have that is worth anything is bad either way, I lightened it up a bit and can't see his beams very well. I am hoping to lay eyes on him this year and if I am lucky enough, put a 490gr FMJ in him.

My nemesis decided to show up Nov. 14th mid morning, this is literally 10' from my buddies stand. My dad was 200yds over from here, 7 different shooters on cam between 8:00 and 12:00 noon......

Damn, he looks old! An old warrior right there! Really makes you respect them when they reach that age! Thanks for sharing!
