A few pics of the non typical buck

I have yet to figure out how to keep these bucks around come October. I think no one around us feeds like we do and they just gravitate to our place every summer. It's the same story every year. Some of these bucks will be at our protein feeders multiple times daily all summer long. I can't tell you the number of bucks I've had shed velvet and completely disappear over the years. In some cases the last picture I got was "bloody" horns right after shedding velvet. They're on that water trough heavy right now, but let us get an inch rain and put a few puddles in the rocky creek bottom and it's like they don't know that trough exist. Hey, but that's why they call it hunting! My uncle asks me every now and then, "You ever get tired of feeding them boys and never seeing them during season?" Truth is I don't mind at all. I've grown to enjoy the process a lot more than the result over the years. I love filling feeders, running cameras, doing food plots, all of it. Tickles me to death to see how good these deer have gotten over the last decade. I work my tail off out there sometimes, but truth is I could scout more and hunt harder. As the saying goes, I guess I just ain't that mad at them anymore. Lol. I suspect one of these days one them hoss bucks is gonna slip and let me hang a tag on'em. I got time. :-)Last edited by Roscoe; 08-09-2016, 12:36 PM.

I have come back to this thread multiple times to look at this deer. He is just incredible. I remember you posting about him from last year but he is in another class this year. I wouldn't begin to know what he scores and it doesn't matter. On a deer like that, shoot first and ask questions later. Good luck and I hope he sticks around for you this year.

I agree! :-)
I hear folks talking about deer "blowing up" from time to time. I was shocked at the leap he made over last year.
