He is probably right about your deer. They usually freeze off. The splits are generally from fighting. This guy is a dominant two point. He and another one just amaze me. Kinda what Rem said. Little scrappers. They fend off bucks 4 times their size. I have another that I filmed last year and damned if I didn't film him again. He also grew a third. If someone looked at him and judged him on antlers alone they'd think he was 2.5 or so. He had 6 does with him this fall, and there were 3 other bucks within 100 yards. One was a dominant 4 on a doe and two others that wanted his doe. Meanwhile this guy had his. It was cool to watch. Finally the 4 point came over and this scrapper CHARGED full bore and ran him out of the country.
