That is a very nice mature buck I would take him in a heartbeat.Our buck/doe ratio is so out of wack here that seeing deer of that age class is a rareiety.Nice pics of a fine buck.

"I would really like to see what this buck will do with one or two more years of growth but if he gives me a perfect shot I will take it. As somebody else already said I have plenty of picks of him growing up and how tuff he really is so I would be proud to take this fine animal."

Proud indeed!!

Tracy will do what Tracy will do.. either way will be the "right thing".

Thanks Tracy for sharing this awesome critter with us.

He would make a great display especially with all of his photos surrounding him.

God bless,Mudd

Great stuff Tracy. Love seeing the bucks mature from year to year. That's almost as much fun as killing one....Almost. To watch one grow then take it as a mature adult it is a wonderful and at the same time somber feeling that is hard to describe.

Good stuff brother. Good luck on ol' "Crazy leg".

Animals are tough SOBs.  There are few humans, if any, that could truly live in the animal world.  Gotta love this guy's tenacity.

I  shot a nice 8 pt during MS season,not as big as this guy though, got to him and found out he must have been hit by a car at some point.His right leg, at almost the same place as Tracy's buck,was about 3 times the size it should be.One big knot. It was also about 3",s shorter.Well he's getting half mounted with that leg showing.When I dressed him I was surprised at how big his heart was compared to others I've gotten.I'll second doing a display. Good stuff and good luck !JG

I think you are mistaken.  That is a genetic mutation that has allowed him to be the toughest SOB on the farm.  Really he has an obvious leverage advantage and I would say it borders on cheating.  It's plain unethical and you should do the other, more honest and traditional bucks, a favor and take him out  :)

I'm kidding of course.  Thanks for sharing.  He's super cool.

This old boy must have had some tough times early on.  Just from a sentimental point of view, I hope he survives a long time.

However, good luck if you decide to take him down.

Here's a pic of a doe that was victim of a bad wheelie shot in 2000.  This pic was from last year but she has been seen this year, just not on the camera.  She's had fawns every year since the injury.  While I've never seen her "in person", seeing the pics is pretty darn cool.  It's amazing what these animals can endure and overcome.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I had a young mulie pass by me this year at 5 yards, and he was missing a least 8 inches of his front right leg. I have no idea how it happened, but he was getting around real well so I let him pass. I did take a picture of him as he passed but you can't really see that he's missing some of his leg. I'm always amazed at the will to live wild animals have. Doesn't matter if its a deer, turkey, or coyote ect. I've never came across one that was feeling sorry for itself and give up.

1994, I rattled in a buck from the ground. He came in like a pitbull on steroids. First time I was truly nervous about being on the ground with a buck like that. All I saw was his left side rack, looked like a decent 8pt. I made a lucky shot with my Groves reurve and a big Snuffer, and dropped him. Found out he had a twisted, gnarly 2 pts on his right side. His left front foot and part of his lower leg was missing from a gunshot wound the year before and had grown into a club looking lump. I named him Chester after the Gunsmoke character. One of my best memories.
