Pictures can always be a bit deceiving but I’d love to know how much weight they can lose in a week and a half. He’d mean a lot more to me with the bow but it’s gun season here. I’m not convinced he’ll ever be much more than what he already is antler wise and I know he’s mature just not with good genetics. Last pic was this morning at 9 am. Naturally I was at work. Wind may be wrong tomorrow. But if it’s not totally wrong I’ll give him a whirl and see what happens.

Nice Buck

I don't see anything wrong with those genetics. Long tines.

Nice deer, I would definitely go after him. May be just the angle of the pictures but the side by side photos look to be different deer. The deer in the night time photo, it looks like his beams sweep forward with a wide spread between the tips of the beams. The buck in the day time photo, his beams curve in towards each other with less distance between the tips of the beams. Either way I would gladly put a tag on him.

It’s just the different angle. There’s multiple shots from the morning. Same broken G3 and angled brows. It’s him.
He’s no doubt a good deer for here. He’s mature which is all I look for, just won’t make “the wall”. But he’ll make plenty of pastrami and sausage lol
