Closed a chapter in the hunting book

[Aggiebush]

My dad and uncle made a trip to the lease to try and catch a buck during the week. He texted me at 5:00 yesterday that he had shot a big one, and I was pumped for him.
We have been chasing two particular bucks for the last 4 years, but never have been in he right place at the right time... Until yesterday. He dropped the hammer on my target deer, a wide old 7 pt. This buck has flipped back and forth between a 6 and 7 each year. He has to be at least 8 years old, but I will check his jaw as soon as I can. I will post pics later, tapatalk is not working for me. I will post up the pics of him since the first time I got him on camera, to show how he has changed through the past few years.

Love seeing a mature buck go down. Be it 7, or 70 points. Can't wait to see the history of this buck.

At one point he was a 130" +- 6 pt. He has broken one G2, but still a heck of a trophy. 19" inside spread.

And please don't tell us he became a spike the year after he was a 130" 6 point.

[Aggiebush]

lol. Don't know what he was as a yearling, but I bet he wasn't much. Been a 6 or 7 since 2009.

Ok, here are the pics!
I found one of his sheds back in the spring of 2011 while turkey hunting.

Here is the first pic of him that I got on a TC, and I thought that he was ancient then!

Here he is fall of 2012, back to a 7 pt.

Last year, he was a 6 again. He damaged his antler in velvet, and it bent straight down.

And finally, here he is for his last photo. He is back to a 7 again, and lost a little length. I can't wait to get a close look at his rack and age his jaw to see how old he is.

Nice buck. An old warrior like that is a true trophy for anyone. What did they use to catch him with?

[Aggiebush]

I'd like to say his Mathews Drenalin, but he took him with a Ruger 270. We just can't not put down the bows where we are in NE Texas, just not enough deer coming to feeders.

One last time for the early risers.

That's neat to finally get him!! Congrats!

Man that is a very cool old buck! I hope to get on a place long enough to chase one for several years!

what a corker, top stuff to your old man mate.
