Agreed. The title of the post and the question asked can be interpreted differently. There have been numerous posts made over the years that asked for post-season photos of deer that apparently made it through the season, or in other words, got away. A more accurate title would have been the ones you passed up. It's the ones that get passed up and yet are still alive that usually matter most.

Here's a photo of a buck that I passed up on Opening Weekend. I hope to get a photo of him soon that tells me he got away from every hunter that might have had the chance to take him.

Your reading comprehension needs work. How is a better title "the ones you passed up" -- DQ specifically said for ones you had seen again OR "for a first time live in person".

No worries guys let's keep those photos coming and stories if have any too. Remember county too if you wouldn't mind....

Throckmorton

Thought you may put him in there. Hopefully he's around next year....

Thanks
Concho County

Val Verde county

Should have shot him back a couple of years ago

Oogly moogly. I think I'd take a sabbatical from work to chase that one

We have some "drop" boys now...Keep those pics and stories if have any coming....

This one eluded me this year. Had one shot at him as he was in a thicket with a doe. All I could see was his rump and paunch. I passed. Goliad County

Really nice old bruiser there, lot of beam length on that dude. You're out STXRanch's neck of the woods.

Man some good ones

Young Co

Videoed this guy for 5 minutes. Watched him walk away and I’ve been second guessing myself for the last 4 years. It’s the only time he was ever seen.
Jack county

Really nice one Fonzie, he looks 4.5-5 to me, should be a stud next season if made it through...

Jack county hoss there; I have seen multiple studs dark early off 114 to Jacksboro on my trips to Young county.

He’s around my buddy saw him last weekend! I think with what work we have planned out there this spring we will have an awesome season coming!

Great thread, i for the first time didn’t run a camera

2019 watched him for 3 years total. Saw him the last Saturday evening of bow season at 52 yards. Had him on TC the next morning at 5:55 then never seen him again.

Guys, for fun let's add a little wrinkle to this. If you would, repost your pics and add the acreage range size of the property these deer frequented, i.e., < 100 acres, 200-500 acres, 500-1000, 1000-5000 and 5000+. No need to indicate LF or HF unless you just want to. Will be interesting to see how large or small of acreage these very nice bucks are frequenting.

Heck of a nice buck!

Less than 100 acres, LF...

Damn stud there....
