He is old enough to out-smart most one hunter...

I need a cup today...sheesh

Sorry man, didn't mean to open up the

2015 = your year, amigo!

It's not easy being famous J.

What type of distinctive markings are you looking at that I'm missing?

Is it too early to start a "Good luck jshouse: 2015 edition"????

It's something about his head. And easily being the biggest bodied deer I've had on camera in 6 months. Am I 100% sure, no, but I'd bet a quarter on it being him. I had the same feeling last spring when I saw him, I just knew.

We'll know better In a few weeks when his brows show up real high above the bases

And this is the 4th spring in a row that a huge bodied old buck has showed up like this, and we all know how the first 3 turned out....

It's been quite the soap opera.

He's still around. He does have funky hours though

You just need to catch him before he flies south for the winter.

I really do think he is changing from summer/warm weather habitat to winter/cold weather habitat, and unfortunately for you BIG's winter habitat isn't part of your hunting grounds. Fortunately for you, it appears that his winter habitat doesn't belong to any hunter, so let's hope he switches up with his senile old age and this is the year

Yes sir!

This is "The year", Jack. Keep hunting him hard like you have been. He's gonna' make an awesome shoulder mount. Either that or he'll die of old age. Good luck. Again.

I think you should go full body mount

What a trophy that deer will be, even when he starts going back down hill. I have a feeling you are going to get lucky this year and nail him...and I did say lucky

and by nail him, he means by accident with a truck bumper.

He is farther West than you are, so I meant with a weapon. If we were talking about you on the other hand....

Do you have ANY hard horned of velvet pics of him to refresh us on what he looks like?

100's....1000's of without antlers, then in velvet and out of velvet from now till...well...then the Houdini part starts and nothing till now again

Barely. He's up North.

Didn't get any hard horned pics last year, these were a few of the last pics before he crushed my soul...

If the opportunity presented itself. ....

This isn't going to make you feel any better, but after talking to neighbors and finding out where my white whale was taken, he very deliberately moved about a mile away as the rut approached both years and basically only summered at my place.

Could be Big just isn't in your neck of the woods when you need him to be. That's actually basically proven at this point, though it only extends to you insofar as you're in your stand until proven otherwise.
