I "planted" this tree last year along the edge of my big food plot in the creek bottom. I wanted a nice scrape to develop there, but I never did get anything hitting it last year. This year there have been a few deer hit it. Then last night a 11:40 this giant showed up! So stoked to see a new big shooter moving through!!!

Of course I only got this pic on the opposite of the bottom...

Pretty sure this is the same deer from early this year, except he broke off a tine...

After further review on the computer, I believe those are two different deer in the videos. The deer from the oak flat in September has a G2 that is shorter than his much longer, slanted G3 on his left beam. There are some other differences, but that was enough for me to believe these are two different deer. I also think the oak flat deer is 3.5 and the creek bottom deer is a 4 year old. They can bulk up their necks, but you can't add depth in the chest in two months. Regardless, I'd like to see him or them this weekend!!!
