5 year old buck +
This is a buck that i call glendel...last year his rack when viewed in profile looked a lot like the rack of the glendel buck target in my back yard. His rack is very similar year to year and he has the same ear rips.
I first started getting pics of him when i think he was a 3 yr old 9 point (2012/13). Then last year he showed again as a 4 yr old 10 point (2013). And now he is back again as a 5 yr old 10 point (2013/14). he looks like an absolute beast to me! Its not very often we get bucks into this age class in my part of the world. He almost always shows up starting in December or January and stays until the beginning of March. I have never found a shed from this deer...and not for a lack of trying either. All pics are during the middle of the night...nothing earlier/later than a solid hour from daylight. Last year he made a quick stroll through on November 13th, obviously looking for does and that pic was around 11PM. The bulk of the visits he makes to my property are in December/January/February. I'm thinking he shifts his range in response to winter food sources adding my little plot to his food sources to visit. I just have not been able to pin down his likely bedding area, its gotta be in my "neighborhood" somewhere.
Here he is this year.
