Cull-ver aka "Cully" for short

I have seen this old buck 4 yrs in a row now since 2012. He has always been borderline 13" inside spread. I think he makes it this year. Might have let a family member or friend shoot him in a the next couple of weeks. He has been very dominant the past 2 yrs now and runs everything off the feeder when he is around. His torn ear is the aftermath of a fight that broke that whole mainbeam off. He showed up this morning and spent about 45 running does in and out of the field/feeder area. He has really muscled up the past couple of weeks. I nicknamed him Cull-ver, Cully for short. He is always entertaining when he shows up and never fails to put on a show.

Wow he's pretty! Thanks for sharing, STX.

His neck looks out of proportion... Nearly the size of his body.. Old deer right there and good pics as always.

The ear flopped over cracks me up..

Great pics!

How old you think he is ranchman? 6 ish?

great pics

I think he is 7 this year based off of the history and pics I have of him.
Here he is in 2012 season.

Here on December 18th, 2013

Here on December 31st, 2013 missing a mainbeam and the notch in the ear.

Here he is on November 9th, 2014 showing his dominance at the same feeder as the this morning.

Then on November 1st, 2015 before the season started.

I'd have a hard time shooting that beautiful breeder buck specimen. Those beams are longer than I thought they were from te head-on/slightly angled pics.

You would have had a hard time shooting him till this year since he was never legal in the past. Beams are not really that long.

Good Looking Pics

Beautiful specimen. Love that swollen neck

Holy neck

^^^ spike

Great looking old buck !
Looks like a character with that broke ear.
Great pics as always !

That'd be a great buck for a kid to take. I hope you can get somebody on him, he's not a bad buck and taking any deer that old is no small feat.

Getting that clean fresh break past the GW would be interesting to say the least. Better take any tools out of the tool box that could be used as a hammer.

You da man if you did it before that picture with a hammer.

Great looking buck and a lot of history with him.
Cool pics

Most people would do that after the deer was dead

Great pics as always. At least you have a few coming back in

That neck is almost comical, looks like a Clydesdale!

This would be even more comical then....

Tools or no tools in your truck, he's legal!

Great deer for someones kiddo to take!

I bet he'll break some racks. Dang!

Pretty buck!

Love the string of pics as he's aged! Beautiful old buck!

I can't help but like him after seeing his pictures and hearing his story.

Great pics as always!

Looks 7 to me too. I'd bet he was good shoot before he broke that main beam but he definitely is now. Some young man or some new hunter would be on cloud 9 after killing him. Awesome Pics sir!

Great looking buck and super pictures.

Thanks everyone I am sure he is at least 7 yrs old also, if not older.

X2. Looks almost exactly at 13" lol.

I'm shooting for 8 1/2 or 9 1/2 my sons cull looks just like him from last year and he was that old. Will be good to find out soon.

If I were a deer that's what I would look like.

Lot of character.

What an old warrior. That neck is as big around as his torso.

Thanks again everyone.

He's a hoss. The older I get the more I appreciate a big, OLD, dominate buck like him. He may not score great and I've killed bigger ones, but he's a trophy to me. If I had a kid or first time hunter with me, they better shoot fast or else they'll be helping me load up MY cull buck.....

Especially if I had the history and pics of him you do. The history and storyline make a hunt so much more rewarding to me.

The mass on those brows is unbelievable.

Hoping to get someone on him soon. He will break up his rack in the next few weeks.

He really seems to have changed between 2012 and 2015. Beautiful buck.

Very cool pics. Like everyone has said, that's one hell of a neck.

Same here Almost feel sorry for the old guy (not you STX) BTW, is that a spike I see?

Nice Pics!

Yup.....

Beautiful old buck and very professional-looking photos of him. Well done. Hope you pop him.

great pics! looks like a good one to take

Nope...look closer

Looks like he wants to identify as a spike.

Admitting it STX, is the 1st step in recovery.................

Look closer...he is already busted up and you can see where he had brows and G2s at a minimum. I am not killing a buck based on what he is now.

"Roids" in the corn STX?

I am thinkng this was him about 6 days before.

Pic of him about 7 minutes after the pic with Cully. He had a branched antler on both sides.

DGH

Rifleman's Gumby buck sneaking around on your place a few years ago?

I can see it in the last photo.

Photography is stellar!

One of my favorite all time deer pics.

Great Pics
