That's a dead deer, ear tag or not, he doesn't impress me as having much potential. He may have been set free for a reason.
How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

He's back! This is the only picture I got of him so far. I'm sure I'll have some more. Calling him a 4 year old.. Off limits until next year. 
If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter. I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.

Looking at that deer I think its important to remember that not every deer, even with all the protein and age it can get will be a monster. I think he is a nice buck and will be nicer in another year, very neat to be able to track deer over several years.

Looking good, great thread. Will keep following for sure.
JHef-Nice job on agreeing to let him walk. Will be interesting to see what he does at 5yo.

I have a 4.5 or 5.5 year old 10 point that's been an 8 for the last 2 years. This is the first year he's a 10!

Your local biologist in your area of the deer should shed some light on the subject, tpwd, keeps some what good records when they transfer deer or relocate them. With this CWD going around more attention to detail is at hand. Nice young deer in my book, if you can read all the digits in his tag, its documented some where in someones laptop!
Wonder how many others are in his group? then again he could be an escapee like previous post said.
He'd be tempting to a young shooter in your group if you have any?.....
hunt safe.....

I'm about 99% sure I found his other shed from the year before last over the weekend;   That is his 3 year old set of horns. He should be 5.5 this year. I set up first game cameras for the year on Saturday. I haven't had any photos of him since December, but I'm pretty sure he made it. He is safe from us and our neighbors. He is going to be one of my priorities this year if he is still there.

I bet he is going to be a main frame 10 with several kickers maybe even a drop.
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

Might contact the GW or County Biologist and see if they know anything about him
I'd ask him if he's pregnant. He missed a s__tload of periods. I'll take "things that look like a uterus" for $200 Alex.
