I thought it would be fun to track the progress of a buck we took this year. He ended up scoring 194 and had over 41 inches of mass. The first picture is of him in 2012. Next is of 2013 and then last year 2014. Then the trail picture from this year and then a picture of the day we took him. Hard to pass up a deer like this each year but this shows what patience can produce. I have some other bucks we have taken with the same progression pictures I will try to put together soon. 2012  2013  2014  2015

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Very cool. TLK, how old was he when harvested? tooth wear and history we think he was 7.5. We will have his teeth tested in a lab and know by this summer actual age.

Very nice buck,must be nice being able to track those monsters from year to year on a low fenced place.  I thought people could only do that on HF places(some even call them pets if you can watch them year to year) Keep up the good work!

If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

That is a great buck, and most people would have shot him in 2012, and it would have still been a great deer then. But you'll never get 190s if you shoot them all at 160.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Well done. Glad he wasn't shot as a 2.5-year old - I envy you your patience!

Love this. Looking forward to seeing what you're putting together!
We kept it as a pet for several months until it got run over by a truck. Then we ate him.
