He is really being a poop.

Beautiful buck for sure.  In your first post the left ear looks like it has been clipped off in a fight or something.  The buck in post #35 looks like he has two complete ears.  Are they the same buck, or is the ear in the first post folded over?

[boneaddict]

That’s a good question.  As far as I know he has a full ear.    I was working with twins though I thought  he had a messed up eye, that or folded ear, which I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before.

Just something I caught, Doug.  Seems a lot of those big old bucks have trashed ears from fighting.  Saw that first pic and thought, "Wow, his ear is clipped off, not notched or torn like normal".  Wonderful photos.

So at some angles the ear looks short and some it looks norm. must have a uniqueness to it.   This guy has the bad eye.  I also saw his twin today.  He has recessed a bit and didnt grow as well.  I saw him early on and thought it was this buck.   This guy surprised me that he looked so well.  Then I saw them both.

bone, the buck I killed this year had about 2 inches missing from the tips of both ears, squared off. I killed another buck back in 1979 that had the same issue, only that buck was missing about 2 inches of one ear and about 3" off the other. I talked with my great grandpa about it back then and asked if he had ever seen that, he said yes, from time to time. He said he talked with one of the Little Bellingham guys back in the 40,s(his name was Gabe, I've told a few stories on here about him), he later went on to become a Warden up in Alaska. He said its frost bite usually, the tips of the ears are vulnerable and if they get frozen that area dies and falls off, could be whats going on with your guy there.

No way! Can't wait!

This should be epic!

What a long life! He probably has sons that are reaching their prime now...

3 years (almost to the day) of growth on him... I bet that was a exciting time for you discovering him again! Can’t wait to see him!

There are some bucks that are just tough as nails.
