Looks to be about 3.5. Glad he will get another year of growth.

Great looking buck! Glad he made it and hope he hangs around. Some bucks are like that, we have some that disappear all season and come back and some that show up and stay a few months and then leave.... it would be easier if they just stayed put! bang

Heck of a good looking buck

Nice looking buck. Hopefully you can keep him around a little longer this coming year.

I had one do that to me in the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He would be there all summer and leave as bow season started and show back up around Feburary. I didnt ever see him again in 2017. He is the biggest deer I ever had on camera on my place. I'm sure he made some one a beautiful trophy. I fed him well.

I ask, bc deer seem to have a winter and summer range. During August and September we do our surveys for tpwd. I bet 70% of those bucks I see in the survey leave in October and don't show back up until March. I also get different bucks that show up in October, but never seem them in August. It's happened the past two years too that I've managed this place.
I find it quite intriguing.

He got the memo and spent hunting season on the neighboring place that doesn’t allow hunting. 😎. That’s a good one

I keep looking for the lease where all those big boys go just before the season opens. But, I always find the one they leave.

^^^^ IMO it would be smart to put some thought into Jakes first sentence.... If bucks leave your place to go to neighbors, it makes sense the neighbors should come to yours. We have a real big place and we notice bucks will move around but we are blessed to be able to keep em on us(mostly). My opinion is the majority are still around but just not easily seen.
Also, keep in mind that deer are individuals and there are exceptions to every rule as well as a situation can be very sight specific.
I may of gotten off topic a little, so ill add "nice buck and hope you get him."

buck has potential - this is the joy of hunting - good bucks are not easy in most cases - the harder he is to find during the season the prouder you will be if you take him - best of luck to you
