That makes two of us...lots of potential!I say he'll be 3 in April and he has a lot of potential to blow up for you Phil.

thanks! he definitely has my attention! last year he showed up in mid october and then was pretty frequent until early december, then he showed back up a few times in late january and february. i never did get a day light pic of him last year until late january. I also was unable to find his sheds. I'm hoping that the lure of the ladies will have him show up during daylight...while i'm in the tree!He's a beauty Phil. Glad to see he is still around. That's a good sign he likes it there!!!
thats what i'm thinking...3 yr old that just isnt a bruiser. He's getting an arrow flung at him if given the opportunity.Definately a 3 or 4 yo shooter to me. Looks like he gained a little length too. He may just not have the genes to get a barrel chest and big belly like some of us.:D

He sure did! That split G2 on the driver side is a really deep fork! I can't wait to get a better look at the tips of beams and see if he has those little splits again!Looks like he added a boat load of points. Sideways he looks like freakin honey locust.
Yep! He's at the same autumn olive scrape this year as he was last year. I've been using that AO for mock scrapes for a few years now. AO branches are brittle, especially in the cold, and the bucks tend to break them off every year, so each year I pick a new branch and tie it down into position with some paracord. This year's branch has already been pretty well mauled.He's at the same " scrape limb " as last year's pix isn't he ?? He looks like he gained some good bone and some body size too. He doesn't look pudgy, but he may be running the hills doin' the buck thing !! How are your acorns over there ?? We're loaded in Lyco in many places. If he gets into those acorns, he'll lard-up for winter.
Good luck flinging an arrow at him !!
