Haven't seen him since these pics back in September. Had the narrow rack in bow range. Pulled video camera out to video him. Gave him a pass. I think he is just a real cool looking 2yr old. Sadly, I haven't really seen any "bonus bucks" during the alleged rut that allegedly took place. No strangers wandered through. A bit mind boggling. I have seen some on other properties, but none have been "monsters". Just a bunch of different 1-2 and occasional 3yr olds I have never seen. Only high light of recent has been the tall 9pt that showed back up. I'm seeing 135ish. Honestly still not sure if he is a 3yr old. I'm struggling to believe this is a stud of a 2yr old, but I'm just not sure he is 3. This deer has a very similar rack to the 14pt I killed in 2013. If he could make it 1-2 more years. . . Not sure anyone will pass him if they get a shot at him this year. . . . Myself included. That is just the kind of year I am having. I don't care. Stuff some meat in the freezer. Make a euro mount. Call it a season. Preferably just take a nice doe and/or have one of my MIA shooters from September show up.
Here are a couple of the 2yr old 135ish? Maybe 3yr old? Last one is my narrow rack regular.
