I call him Spike....after what Charles Bronson called the white buffalo in the movie...I think he called him  "White Spike"

That’s a cool looking buck. Hopefully he survives. Be cool to see what his rack turns into. But those little 3rr/4th points aren’t doing him any favors lol

Interesting, seems rather early. I'm seeing heavy velvet in the high country, as usual.

That's a cool looking buck.

He was dorky, but impressive. Wish I had a pic of him with his head turned. His right side had three points on it, but everything was growing straight up over there. The other side had 4 pts with nice forks. Would've harvested him if it was next weekend instead of last.

Good to see, I'm just not a fan of hunting velvet.

A animal in velvet is the worst case scenario to me. Nothing worse then a rack in velvet. I always wonder when I see a dead deer in velvet how cool it probably would have been in a month. But I wouldn’t pass one up either lol
