The following pics are at 2 yrs, 3 yrs, and now 4th yr velvet. Truthfully, it could possibly be 3, 4, and 5 but I’d say this year is the big jump we all hope for. I’m hoping there’s still enough growing season to bring the main beams back together.

Nice deer

Thinking my big boy herd may suck. Been blessed for several years straight though with good deer. May be down this year

That is precisely why I let all injured deer have 2 years before making a decision on killing. Nice.

Matt, did you mean to say “injured” or “unsure” of age? I was 50/50 on whether my first familiarity with this deer was at 2 or 3.
I also have the watch them one more year disease pretty bad.

Yeah I meant deer that have a suspected pedicle injury. A lot of them will self-correct with time.

I know ‘em pretty well on the farm and that one is a real year-round homebody. There’s rarely absolutes with deer though.

I could see it going either way. The brows are slightly different on the third deer, but if the beams continue to sweep around like before and he’s using the same areas as he has at specific times in the past, it’s likely the same deer. The rest of the rack looks very similar, just much larger.

Yeah honestly didn't even think about it only being Late July or early August plenty time for those beams to grow! Gonna be nice Buck either way
