Guess he made it

This guy went completely MIA about mid November. Looks like he may be here next year to drive me nuts again. I sure wish I could get my hands on him.

WOW!!
Great deer!

Glad he made it since you couldn't ever see him.

God Bless,

Stud there

Heck yea - that will get your heat rate going

I got a 7 point in Clarke county that prob 6 that made it - probably a euro mount - showed up lot in daylight In February- spots were not hunted
I got a 7 point in Camden Prob 6 year old - never got a daylight pic from him - this area was also hunted More - probably a euro mount - he made it
They my 2 best - your deer is nicer - hope u get him

Nice buck - good luck next season

Dang good one there. He looks pretty run down so maybe he passed on a lot of those genes

That's a great picture, complete with battle scar's.

Seems like some of them always disappear but at least he made it , maybe you get him early before he leaves again. Heck of a deer!

photoshopped

Still waiting to see if ours shows back up. He’s been gone since October but not the deer that one is.

Nice buck. We have many bucks that go MIA about mid November to early December as well. I'm not sure where they go because it is not from lack of does, food or too much hunting pressure. Most of the time they show back up the last week of January or February. Mississippi State recently conducted some research on about 50+ bucks and found that about 1/3 of them have different home ranges in the winter. I suspect this is mother natures way of minimizing interbreeding. I see this with mature bucks and young bucks on our property. We run cameras year round.

We will likewise see some bucks show up that in December that are not resident bucks. Some of the new bucks we saw this year were very healthy (fat) indicating that they were being well fed somewhere.This again demonstrates that it is not about food. It is sometimes frustrating because we spend a lot of $$ on protein in the summer only to see a few of the bucks move away during gun season. This is why we hunt hard during bow season.

rough lookin dude...

Something out there is big enough to give it back.

How are you liking those tasco cameras? Nice deer

Can't beat them for the money. I've got about six moultrie cams and they definitely take better quality pictures. But for $30 I love these tascos. I try to buy one every time I go to walmart just to have extras lol.

that bigfoot in the background been running him that why he looks rough

I like my 2 and plan for more - some of my higher priced ones don’t take pics sometime

Old boy looks rough. He needs a few good meals and some rest.

I understand why!

Nice buck

Great deer. Did you get a pic of the one leaving to the left?

I didn’t this time, but if it’s the buck that he usually runs with he’s just a basket racked 7pt
