he has been hit or miss at the feeders so far but was this time last year too. he should get pretty steady at the end of june. here he is last year at this time, and then from the other day. the mass looks a little better, cant wait to see what he does.

2012





this season








i like this pic, always like the ones without a feeder better. he's a horse

He is looking good for sure.Cant wait to see what he does too.

Man he is fat.

Looking good.

That is a STUD Buck. Lookin' real good.

He has way more mass this year. Looking like he will split his right brow also.

Exciting stuff! Can't wait

man dont get all excited already...what about pic #4, does it look like the beginnings of an abnormal point there above his eye on the outside of his left antler? or is that what you are talking about?

I saw that abnormal also but I think he will split his right brow also by the looks of it. Bucks is in extremely good shape.

my wife doesnt seem to understand that, all she sees is that bill from the feed store even though i try to tell her it is for the good of the animals.

jshouse, you probably remember from last year I was hoping to see this deer ground checked and it looks like this year he won't dissappoint!! I am hoping for ya this year man!

I have one buck on my property that is looking kind of what your big did in 12, he has a nice pot belly, nice rump, and his antlers are almost legal size already while most of his brethren are merely stumps. He is easy to id cuz he has a cut ear...I will try to post up some pics when I can, but he doesn't have the mass your big has this year. if my guy is even close to what your guy was last year, I will be stoked. This is my first year to watch them go from drops to velvet to hardened antlers, so it is exciting.

From the looks of it, your big may have some trash to go along with his great frame...he is looking good for sure!

yeah, he beat me again last year but i am hitting the gym and studying the playbook so maybe next season will be different.

get your pics up man, it really is awesome watching them grow from season to season and being able to compare them.

i love the old bucks that start getting trashy no doubt, but this deer could decline to a 130 and i would be just as excited to get him, lol. and whats crazy is that i have hundreds of pics of this deer from the last 3 years and have never seen him in person. if my lotto numbers decide to hit this year i dont even know what i will do.

thanks for the hope man, thats all we can do, good luck with yours...lets see some pics!

Great looking buck

the newest pics, looks like he has the beginnings of a droptine on his left base, he likes rice bran

Looks like he's going to have good mass! I've got to get up to the panhandle and get my cameras back out.

He's putting on the mass for sure.

That old deer has some great mass!

That bump is going to turn into an eye guard for that left eye...

Are those times right on the pics? I am surprised to see the deer out in the middle of the day heat like that.

Dang... im pullin for you this year same as last, hope you two finally meet!

nice

yes, times are right, usually have a group that hits the feeders around lunch everyday, hope it means he is getting comfortable..lol.



thanks guys....hope.

newest pics, that droptine/kicker is coming in off the left base, u can see the tip of it in the first pic, and he is gonna have some more trash around the bases. that right brow looks like it wants to do something too, like STX called 3 weeks ago, lol.




this pic is of my plot, he has been eating in it more and more lately

He's looking good!!!

Going to be narrower this year it appears. Left antler appears to have been damaged causing the NT base point on the left side. He is also going to split the back G2 at the base. It appears that whole left antler is behind in growth at this time and willl be interesting to see what it does to catch up. He appears still to be much heavier on mass this year.
