Congrats on a great buck! In those first 2 pics of your Dad holding him, he sure looks heavier bodied than 155.

Congratulations to you and your dad! Awesome buck!

But I’ve got a question for those of y’all that know about antler growth. The OP said that Too Tall broke his brow tine on the right in November of 16. Then his dad found the sheds and you can obviously see where it broke. Then when the buck grew it’s new rack in 17 it didn’t grow back. Is that common? It seems like the brow tine since it was broken off it would have grown back. Interesting to me how that happens.

Prior to breaking the brow tine in mid-November 2016:





On this year’s rack, he had a small 1/4” nub where that left brow tine should be. I’m not sure if he broke it early in velvet and it didn’t grow back or if he just didn’t grow a brow tine...The nub is too short to tell for sure. It is nothing more than a smooth bump on the antler

Yes, the pictures are a little bit misleading because I folded his legs up under him. The scale don’t lie, though laugh
