Title: Didnt make the cut
Post by: boneaddict on November 26, 2014, 07:22:58 AM
I filmed this buck in the same place, same hour of the day, exactly one year later.  Last year I think he was Septembers buck in the calendar.   He didn't make the final cut this year.

Great shot as always Bone.

Its crazy to see a deer in the same spot almost to the minute a year later.   Last year he had a score of doe with him.  This year he was on the move.  Coincidence put me in the same spot at the same time.  I just happened to be thumbing through my journal when I noticed it was the same time.   Here he was last year.   Now that the Calender year is about over, I will try to find some more photos of him.   Very pretty deer.


This is the September (calendar shot) of him last year.   Looks like his eyeguard might have changed a bit, but you can certainly see how he expanded.   He was broke off on the side that looks like a three.

His forks look a tad deeper, and he appears wider.... to bad that Rt fork is messed up... sure is a dandy.

I am guessing 3.5  last year with awesome genetics.    He fits at 4.5  this year by general feel of the buck.  I could be off a year easily.     NEXT YEAR at either 5.5 or 6.5 he could really PEAK!!!!

Looking from my phone...  Is that a broken tine?  Double eye guard on his right?  It'll be interesting (if that's a broken tine), to see how that grows next year.  (Remember a discussion about antler growth memory.)

He broke it post growth.  I don't think the memory applies.   I need to look at more pics from this year to get a better thought of his eyeguards.

Wow, if that buck is not making the calendar... Bet you he'll make it next year. Better set your clock for exact day and time. Pretty buck :tup:

I should have bogarted his pic until next year just in case I don't photo 12 of them next year. :chuckle:   I guess that's the risk.   I really appreciate the support from those that do enjoy my calendar.   Hopefully I do get him next year on film, and I assure you am contemplating just that.  I saw that a couple times this year including Mr. Cover buck.   Seems insane.

Toad by my assessment.  This year is a great shot of him.
