Spent a lot more time at the ranch during 2020 preseason thanks to covid so I was able to pattern him pretty good. I chose to sit in a 10' tripod looking over a corn feeder at 30 yards. Connected with him 15 minutes into the bow season at 27 yards. Doubt I'll ever see another one as unique. Here he is in 2018 when he 1st got the injury And the one time I seen him in 2019 but passed during rifle season. I took my brother in law out to harvest a deer and I grabbed my ar in hopes of making a dent in the hog population. I couldn't pull the trigger on him then and kicked myself for not doing it but glad it worked out in the long run.

I wish I knew how. I have pics of him that same October without the injury. Here's another one on 12/16/18. As you can see in this pic we have axis in this area. I've watched them push Whitetail off a feeder unless it's a mature Whitetail, they will hold their ground, I've seen that multiple times but never seen them lock horns. Definitely a possibility though.

Stories like yours is what makes hunting so interesting to me, the real time decisions you make whether to shoot or not and the long term results of those decisions, what a great way yours turned out. Congrats that is one unique and cool buck complimented by a great mounting job

Congratulations on "playing the long game" so well. What a great trophy that shows it ain't the movie "Bambi" out there. Great post!

Great story and even better finish that proves perseverance pays off. Don't have a decent long running deer story but have taken pigs that I spent a good bit of time chasing.
One question: In the one pic where you have cross hairs on him, was BIL in stand with you?
Nicely done and thanks for sharing.

Very cool deer, mount and story. Who did the mount? It's a great job!

Great buck with tons of character and heck of a good story/journey to get him!
My guess on the injury is rattlesnake bite.
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
