A Big Buck's Life

[TreeWalker]

The Big 8 that I have been documenting for the past year, and hope to do more of this coming year....hopefully with a happy ending (for me) this next fall

This is a pic of him just days before he shed 2/25/05


Here he is probably within a day of shedding 3/2/05


Here is his shed I found this wednesday.....68"


And here is a series of pics that I pasted together.....a pic from him in velvet in July-2004.....a pic from him in February-2005.....and a pic of his 2004 shed (62" left side) and his 2005 shed that I just found(68" right side).......

Now you just need to add the picture of him mounted on your wall. He should be a dandy next year.

Look forward to seeing a pic of that deer again this fall. Great series of photos.

[dogdoc]

and just think--he will be even better next year!

Now that IS cool iminrut! I just wish we could keep tabs on one like that down here. He should be better next year and I hope you put a tag on him this fall. Until then I'm looking forward to your pics during the antler growing season.

Ya, the size of the pedicles are a pretty good indication, eh ?!?!

I'm just hoping he gains some of that brow tine length back .....

Very nice Clay! Hope you get him this fall!

[MadHuntinPastor]

Good luck. Nice pics!!

It'a great that you've been able to keep tabs on him and photo document him for so long,,, if you do manage to harvest him that would be an amazing ending to the story
