Title: Buck history
Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 08:22:00 AM: This was interesting to me. I've photographed this buck for 3 years. I think I actually have him for 4, but I couldn't find it. Anyways he was on the downhill slide last year. Still dominate, but smaller. Then this year, he was better. There was a drought last year....

He is a four on that side, just a bad angle. His dimensions are tightening up, but surprised of overall appearance.

Post by: boneaddict on November 13, 2016, 08:35:20 AM: 7.5 to 8.5 probably. Just a guess.

Impressive. Shows he's the same deer. And shows you know where to look.
