Great pics. The closeup on the licking branch is awesome and the buck with the crazy brow tine is interesting. Lots of potential.

Thanks Gravel! If you can't tell pinch point scrapes are my favorite trailcam placement spots.

Very cool and unique

Best part for me is my mom was with me when I found his right antler and my dad found his left side while we were looking. Pretty neat to have both parents involved.

My boy came back tonight and he is missing his left eye. He showed up in my back yard just after legal light. I have a plan for tomorrow. Dad says I can’t shoot a buck with one eye, it’s not fair. I told him I wish he was blind in both…

Wow, no words... what a beast. I've been wondering about your quest for that deer. Animals are so tough. I always wrastle with the emotion of are we ending their happiness or putting them out of their misery. Good luck!

I don't think it's anything but the former. Like you said, these animals aren't giving up their shot at life easily, they want to be here and their will to live is insane.

Nothing huge but I hope one of my kids gets a chance at him this week

 

[Catscratch]

That's a nice one b116757! I hope your boy gets a shot at him too.

T-Max, those are a couple of outstanding deer! I personally know of several 190+ deer that were shot that only had 1 eye.

It is pretty crazy the one eye buck lost the eye that has a wall of antlers growing around it. It would take a lot of bad luck for a tine to make it through those eye guarding antlers. Hopefully you can kill him before he gets poked in the other eye.

My thoughts exactly. What piss poor luck for another buck to sneak a tine by your eyeguard and jab it out.

I'm amazed that part of the wall hasn't been broken off!

You are spot on. Look at this poor guy. I’ve had him on camera since June, had him in bow range twice. Unfortunately I can’t burn a tag on him and honestly he’s liked for months like this so I’m not sure what his fate is. I have a buddy bringing his son to shoot does in late ml but told him this buck is his main target

 

[Mortenson]

Sweet. Any history with him?

Post 255 above. Had some pics of him last year real late. Found both of his sheds this spring. One in my back yard and the another a mile North. I think that’s where he’s from and why he is normally here after dark. Last year he was around 165”. Really narrow, but super mass. Very chocolate antlers for around here.

5 minutes… My 4 antlered buck came out 5 minutes after legal light tonight… I was stuck in the blind as he was only 60 yards. Had to watch him in the waning light for 30 minutes hoping he would wander away. Ended up having to have the wife drive in and blow the field. Hope I didn’t screw it up for the season. 5 minutes…

What are your thoughts on this being the same buck? 1st picture is this year, pictures 2 and 3 are last year. Buck was considerably bigger last year if it is the same one. The flyer points on the G2s, the tall and relatively narrow rack make me think it is the same buck. However he lost some mass and his G4s from last year if it is the same buck.
