I believe the Buck I was hunting last year is back and is going to be bigger this year. Here is a picture of him last year. And what I think is him this year.

Looks like he could be. He's going to be a nice one.

When was those pictures taken. In my opinion there isnt a lot of "growing " from here on out. Maybe a little but from July on its mostly the horns "hardening" and mineralizing so to speak. If those pictures are recent and based on the looks of the antler they are, he maybe actually be a bit smaller than last year but pics can be deceiving. Nice deer either way.

It's missing the kicker off of the G-2 on the left side
Nice buck but I don't think it's the same deer as the first picture

I don't run cameras but have friends that do, some grow early some grow late you never know till they shed, that buck last year was beautiful, I'm like you and am guessing thats the same one.

Nice pics. Did that doe shed her velvet? Out of curiosity how did figure out she's a doe. I have a catus buck at one place I hunt. He stays in velvet year around but last year he wasn't much bigger than the year before, to my disappointment.

Funny thing, someone bought property next door to our farm,between us and the lake, large parcel. Built a huge 12 unit air b and b…rented to hunters that put up cameras for a week to attempt to realize their dreams of shooting a nice buck that our farm feeds.

I shot the biggest buck ever with the nicest rack in my life 8 minutes in on opening morning…..then the city hunters came after they saw pictures of it moving around the previous evening, lol.

I think / hope you’re wrong. This was taken last week. He’s a super wide 8 that got a pass last year because he broke off main beam. Still had his horns on April 4 of this year

Dang Les, I hate hearing about someone buying land next to you...crowding you out....grrrr
Around guy can't afford to buy land here...and all my farmers rent/lease the land for their crops.
It's not unusual to lose one or two GOOD spots yearly due to commercial building or guys
hunting and lease the land out for hunts. The beaver is my savior as it allows me an in.
