Unfortunately the story of this Native Born Buck did not have a happy ending. I have been watching this deer since he was a 2 yr old. Through the years I had many encounters with this monarch. I decided this was the year to take this 9.5 yr old buck. I have been bow hunting him since September 27 this year and I saw him that weekend for a brief second. I never saw him alive again. This past weekend I started checking ponds to look for him and to my disspointment I found his remains by a pond. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Not sure what caused his death.
At 3 yrs old 3rd pic he was 157", At 4 yr 1st pic he was 170", At 5 yr 2nd pic we figured 205", at 6yr old 4th pic did not find sheds score ?, at 7 yr old 5th pic he dissapeared to neighbor ranch in April and came back end of December. By the way my ranch is sort of high fenced as about 3 miles only has a 6'6" fence, the rest is 8'. At 8.5 yr last pic I figured he was 180".
The second to last last pic of him dead at 9.5 yr old he scored 196"
Hope you enjoy pics, I sure did enjoy watching this deer develop over the years.
