Yall done let that one get old and tough

Few more closer pics

This is the one buck I really wanna arrow this year.
Not a great rack but an old/smart buck.
This is last year's pic.
He's a bit smaller (rack wise) this year.

He break a tine off already?

Really big bodied buck I've seen for a couple years. He'd tempt me just because he's a beast

Really nice buck we've been watching for a year now. But he's really young
My all or nothing buck for this year (or least try my best to try and hold out for him
We have some other noteworthy bucks we're watch also.

Only issue with droptines down here is they normally break them off shortly after losing velvet. We had one that wasn’t quite a shooter but had split G2’s and a nice drop tine.

I do seriously miss not going out to hunt muleys this year though..... usually just let the boys hunt the whitetails

Yeah that buck had lost half his rack by February. Was still fighting end of January and broke the last 2 points on his right side off.

The buck I’m after is a loner. He will not come in if other bucks are nearby. Grunting and rattling sends him the opposite direction. That’s probably how he keeps his rack intact until he sheds, lol.

Neighbors got him this morning

I punched my tag this morning

Nice buck! And congrats to your neighbor as well. Every year when we let bucks go all we hope is the neighbors met them grow like we have. When they get to that age or growth potential it’s a free for all and we understand that.
Curious is your neighbor scored him?

No score yet. I put a request for it when he gets one

Fine KS buck!

166 on the neighbors buck

Very Nice

Couple of good ones.
