Was fortunate enough to harvest this guy — the biggest buck on the property. He’s a full 12-points, even if not particularly wide (non-ar county). ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2021/12/full-70019-327540-172cb29a_1ade_426c_a665_645684adeea6.jpeg) But I can’t help but notice that once he was out of the picture, two more bucks bigger than him moved in who hadn’t shown up on any of my cameras before. He must have been tough enough to hold them off. Have y’all ever seen anything like that?

Title kind of misleading. OP should maybe come on and introduce himself and his buck instead of throwing that title out there. Congrats though!

Wasn’t trying to be misleading. Happy to retitle the post, but this was my first experience seeing bucks step in that quickly.
Apologies.
And, hi.

 Mature bucks are not usually the first ones into a feeder or show themselves in the daylight early in the season IME.

Welcome.
I don’t think the others showing up necessarily had to do with him being gone. Deer change patterns for various reasons.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

He was hunting  Notice the highlighted red part of my post.
