I didn't figure he wanted his face all over the interwebs. He killed it Saturday and I wasn't there. Still trying to get more information on what it ended up scoring and aging. I do know it weighed 198 lbs on the hoof.

What happened to the big deer from 2012? Was he ever killed? If he was not killed is there a possibility that he could have went downhill in 2013 and that is him in the pics? The reason I ask is that the top buck in 2012 is young and I would agree his 2.5 or 3.5 at most. The pics from 2013 that buck is older looking than 3.5 to me and definitely older looking than 4 this year IMO. If they are not the same deer then you have very similar genetics. You would know your deer better than any of us also. The last picture we had of that deer was in 2013 and he had declined quite a bit. The biologist thinks he died of old age and I don't doubt it. It is VERY rare that a deer dies of "old age". Natural causes yes.

Wow, that's a monster East Texas buck - congrats to the anonymous hunter that took him!

2nd buck pic(2013 buck) is a different buck. He is older than the deer just killed would have been and throat patch is different. Dead deer and 2014 game cam pics show brown patch through middle of white throat patch. 2013 deer shows very distinct and solid throat patch. I haven't read every bit of this thread and you may have figured all that out. Having said all that, great books, no matter how many different ones we're looking at. Glad somebody got him, wish it would have been you.
