I've only seen this deer a few times but had him on cam since 2012. His left side has been jacked up every year but this year he put on some mass. He came in following 3 other bucks and gave me a great shot at 22 yards.







I reached for the door before seeing this dude.

That's a very nice buck. I'd love to see a straight on view of him.

That is cool looking old buck. I like the old boys with some character.

Looks like a easy trail job. Good shooting.

Nice buck. As for the rattler I've stepped on one barefoot on the porch. You know instantly when you step through the screen door and feel that skin roll. I hope I never get that feeling again. It's just part of growing up in west Tx.

What is it about rattlers and front porches!?! I've had several on the front porch.

And that buck is way cool. Congrats!

After the Saturday morning hunt I checked the TC and saw that he had been slipping up and coming in right before dark a couple times a week. We put the arrow back through the holes to see the line it was a clean pass through and he went about 75 yards. Those dang rattle bugs are out and on the move I stomped several little ones this weekend but that big boy scared the crap out of me. Thank y'all it was so cool to finally get Squiggles.
