Yes, he’s the deer on the left in the pic...I’ll study the pics a little closer and see what I can find
Look at the ground below him....I see three feet with no problem. That back right foot is not on the ground though and I don't think its just hiding behind the other leg...If that's his hoof we see sticking out and he's holding it up the air in that posture then I'm saying he likely has an issue with it. It's possible that maybe the camera just caught him using his back foot to scratch with or something when it went off.... but nothing else about the way he's standing that would lead me to believe that's the case. He may have been injured during the rut and it finally caught up with him somehow. If his back leg is disabled then he would have a hard time eluding coyotes. I've been on a few tracks where the deer was shot in the back leg and it really disables their ability to get around compared to a front leg injury. On one of the tracks the deer tried to cross a creek branch and simply couldn't get out of it due to only having one good back leg.

How do you know the skull you found belongs to one eyed willie? There’s just too many things that line up for it not to be him IMO...He was the only eyed deer on the farm then and still now; he vanished from my cameras when he began growing his new velvet rack; this skull is very big (3+ year old buck for sure) and it has the spongy antlers just like in the last picture I ever got of him Not sure why but that area you hunt in has more deer that disappear for a year or more that show back up. Friend of mine killed a 160 8pt in the same county you hint in, last yr that was MIA 2017/18 season, was a 140 in 16/17. Keep hope alive ole 1 eye willie may suprise yall next yr

I had a bunch of pics of a deer in 2010, looked to be a 3 yr old maybe 4 then but didn't see him or get pics of him until 2013. He started showing up on cameras all over the place and my buddy killed him soon after he showed back up. The place was clear cut in 2010 so we figured he had moved somewhere else since we never saw him again, he had the same rack just much bigger. It was like he disappeared in 2010 and reappeared in 2013, he was coming from the same travel route and same area as before. In 2010 I had lots of pics of him but not one pic until 2013 and then had lots of pics of him all of a sudden . When my buddy killed him he came in on the same trail as the first pic and most of the pics I had of him in both years.

Yeah, I'm not too sure that you won't see him again. Did I miss something or did he just quit growing brow tines?
Don't go looking for TROUBLE, it'll find you soon enough!
