The game is still on!
« on: April 13, 2013, 12:26:00 PM »
After many trail cam pictures of this buck through the summer and early fall, and many hours looking and waiting for this buck to make an appearance during hunting season without ever seeing him, I was starting to wonder if he had fallen to another hunter or perhaps even a collison with a road vehicle since he seemed to have just vanished.

 

Then yesterday while shed hunting, I found his sheds.  Although it would have been nice to have found them before the squirrels had nearly totally destroyed them, it is good to know that he is still around and this year he should even exceed the antler growth that he put on in 2012. Come on fall, I'm still in the game!

Wow John that is a stud.  I hope you see him this fall.  That is a ton of squirrel damage in just a few months.  Bad-A rodents in your part of the country I guess!

Boy it's hard to beleive the rodents got to him that fast.  It takes a year in my area for them to get that eaten up.

That's one impressive looking deer, congratulations on finding his sheds.  That will give you a little extra motivation to your practice sessions for sure!

The following photo was taken on Nov 8, 2012 about an hour before I sat over the trail that this picture was taken on. Note the rosy mouse under his right eye, I assume from sparring with another buck.  It was probably the closest that I came to ever seeing him in person even though I spent many hours in the area. Yes, it is the kind of motivation that keeps a person practicing.

Very nice buck!

Don't mean to burst a bubble here, but how do you know for sure that those sheds aren't from last spring? I have found sheds during squirrel season in the fall before.

I hope you're right about them being fresh sheds though. Maybe you'll know for sure as summer sets in and you can get him on trail cam or get a glimpse of him in the bean fields.
