Not sure how I missed this. Just read it all. Good luck putting him on the ground this year! Awesome buck. The history you have with him will make it all the sweeter when you close the deal.

I think he has 72 inches of tines right now. 40 inches beam? 36mass? 15 spread?
That adds up to 163 if my math was right. I might have cut him a little short on beams and mass. Big deer..Comment

His beams could be over 20”
His right side will have several big mass measurements.
And his spread could be a tad more.
Either way I’m seeing around a 2 foot jump from last years guess!

The other 13 thread...
Had a serious camera fail while I was gone to work for 2 weeks.
My main camera where i plan to hunt him the most had a faulty SD card and took zero pics 200# mega pile of hand corn and 100# gravity feeder emptied.
2nd camera “where i hunted 13 last year” its batteries crapped after a few days of taking 100’s of pics a day (none of him but 4 other nice bucks). My FIL was hand corning it for me every 4-5 days and said it was all cleaned up.
3rd camera placed on a trail that skirts a tall bank of a reserve pit and crosses over to my hunting area, that I’ve caught him traveling on a few times, had a limb fall in front of it and basically made it useless.
4th camera.. ol trusty, Ive ran on a spin feeder for 4 years in my back pasture mainly just to see deer from the house snapped a few crappy pics of him on the 15th. 3 weeks from the last pic. No action since but he could have been cleaning up hand corn since.
Re corned, fixed all my technical issues and now have a month to wait and see!
Hurry up Sept 29th
Here’s a low quality glimpse of him

Best of luck this year, I just went back and looked at multiple mature east Texas buck harvest threads to get an ideal of body size and head / ears size and that deer will scare the heck out of 70’s in my opinion.Originally posted by Hix View Post
Drop dead beast of a deer.

5 days out!!!
Sure hope he’s regular when I get back in town and check cameras Wednesday
Side note: Got a disturbing picture from my neighbor of a dead hog in the ditch across from my place...
Haven’t seen a hog in 7 years around there and hope it was just a fluke deal or someone dumped it out, if not my hand corn spots could be ruined.
My FIL has been hand corning one spot every 4 days for me and said no signs of hog that he could tell.
