titan2232 started a thread about bucks people see and recognized year after year on low fence places. So I thought we could do a thread with photos of bucks you have seen at least 2 yrs or more. I know JCB will probably have a buck with the most years seen. Here a low fence buck I first saw in 2012 when I bought my place. 2013 2014 2015. He was still alive late in the season but had developed foot/hoof rot and was never seen again. 2012 low fence 2013 2014

Sapper, your deer amaze me. Definitely have great genetics on 'the hood'.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Sapper, I'm not seeing those 3 pics as even being the same deer at all. Ranch, your deer are pretty discernible and I can see the commonality of rack from year-year. When I hunted South Texas for 35+ years, we saw so many bucks in year and year to year with similar characteristics, it was nearly impossible to differentiate them specifically barring a discernible item like a "cut ear" or "kicker point", "drop tine", etc. Outside of that would have been cool to have been able to done so just not practical.

Yalls deer sure seem to be adding more inches each year compared to mine. Makes me think our age group is pretty high

Sapper, I'm not seeing those 3 pics as even being the same deer at all. Left side has the same crab claw and over all shape every pic, 2nd pic looks like a scar on his left shoulder but it’s not visible in the other pics. . Could very easily have been an injury on the right side that has gotten better year after year. Most NT horns like the right side in the first pic is an injury. I cringe when deer like that are shot for “ bad genetics”.

I cringe when deer like that are shot for “ bad genetics”. the crab claw and shape is what makes me think it the same deer. It’s almost like that extra main beam disappears and the split G2 shows up last 2 yrs. I know for a fact that’s him in 17 and 18 as I’ve seen the scar but can’t find the pic from this yr. Here is that split G2

I don't have a pic of this buck when he was 1 or 2 but here is a pic at 3 and 4. We call him the mule deer buck because at 2 he had split G2's and now he is carrying them again this year. He gets a pass till 6 or 7 3 yr old 4 year old

I have done it for the last 25+ yrs now with trail cams, videos, still photos, finding sheds or just sitting and watching deer. The most common things I found was the browtines, shape of the beam/rack, facial color/shape, throat patch, coat color, tail length/color, feeder/water location the buck frequents and who he runs with before the rut. Some bucks just have a look about them that is easy to spot year in and year out. Browtines are like a finger print to me.

Makes me wish I had a bigger piece of dirt. Rarely do I get to see a buck year after year until maturity

stxranchman I agree with you on brow-tines in general here is a buck that has had brow tines that are high up on the main beam and both curve in ...He has been like that since 2.5 and we can pick him out every year by this feature regardless of how his frame changes. here he is at 3.5 and 4.5 this year
