This buck was what I thought to be a really nice 3 yr old.



The next year that buck above was not seen but this buck was seen in the same area as the buck above. I aged him as a 4 yr old that season. He did not have an antler injury but a dislocated right rear hindquarter/leg. I know the injury effected his antler growth this year and his body condition also. I had an euro done of him. I am fairly certain this was the same buck in both pics.


I am sure he would have gotten injured more severely or killed during the rut with that leg injury and his age.

that sucks, cool looking deer though
