I have pics of this buck for 3 yrs in a row and maybe a 4th year. 2020 he has the small notched out area in the lower part of his left ear. Mainframe 5x5 with one kicker on the right G2. Brows are a bit shorter this year but rest is improved. 2019 he has the small notched out area in the lower part of his left ear. Mainframe 4x4 with the start of a G4 on the left beam. 2018 he has the small notched out area in the lower part of his left ear. Mainframe 4x4 2017 not sure if this is the buck since the notched out area is not there. Some similar antler and other characteristics just now sure. Some differences also in the characteristics. This was the only buck I could find in 2017 the looked like it could be the buck in the next 3 yrs. Mainframe 4x4.

I don’t think the 17 pic is him. No notch and almost no increase in inches from 17 to 18.

Like I stated above that I am not sure it is him either but that is the only buck I had pics of at the same feeder that resembled him.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

I really love the progression pics. I appreciate you taking the time to put it together.

Is he 5 or 6 this year? He was at least 5 last year with the staining on his hocks running down his bag legs. So that would make him at leas 6 this year.

Nice photos - you must either have non-hunting neighbors or no neighbors. 6 1/2 yr olds are a rare breed with so many obstacles to reaching that age.

All of my neighbors hunt...I had 12 or 13 mature bucks here last year that I had seen in person and on trail cams from end of August into the season on 234 acres. 9 of them did not make it or have not shown back up yet this year. 3 of them that lived have shown back up that I can account for. A couple I am not sure about that are here since their antlers were damaged in velvet or they went downhill.

12 or 13 mature bucks is a high number for that acreage - they must like the groceries you plant.
About 5yrs is the record on our place & he broke a leg bone you could see in trail cam pix and was gone. I think 3 yr old is the oldest I've seen on cam so far. There are usually a couple mature bucks that wander in during the season and are either killed or just seen on cams.
