Here is Bent Brow. He is quite the photogenic fellow. I haven't counted, but I literally have hundreds of pics of him from May/June and as late as today. I have never seen a deer and been able to look at him and think "That dude is going to blow up", but I think this is what I am seeing. I have seen many more that I thought would blow up that disappear or only put on a few inches the next year. I think this guy has major potential though!
I honestly think this is a deer I can kill. I have him pinned down right now, and I passed him last year from the stand. He put on a ton this year compared to last if it is the same deer! I videod him as he walked by. I need to dig out the footage. He has amazing length, but I am thinking when the velvet peels he is going to look a little anemic in the mass department. While I think he is a beauty right now, he is running with another buck (right split brow buck) which I also feel is young. I have seen pictures of these two standing next to a couple others which I know are older bucks. I don't know if I would say 2.5 but I would not put him any older than 3.5.
I do not say this to sound cocky or arrogant, but I am seriously thinking I need to pass on this one. I really think he has a lot of potential ahead of him. I might kick myself later, but seeing him 2 years running, I will roll the dice and hope he makes it. If the guys hunting to my east kill him, good for them. I hope they call so Hank can track him and I will help them drag the deer out. If anyone to the south or west of my kills him. . . they are trespassing. lol
I don't know. I REALLY hope he shrinks a ton when the velvet peels. The more I look at him, the more I am realizing he will be TOUGH to pass on. lmao
