I am pretty sure this buck is at least 7.5. Last year he was a typical 10 with a kicker on his G2 on the right side, making him an 11. His G4’s were not real strong and I really wanted one of the grands to take him, however that did work out and he survived the season. Fast forward to this year, he is a typical 8 with double drops (he has one on the left side equal to the one on the right). Quite a change in conformation.

Can’t wait to see the LDPOriginally posted by deerwatcher51 View Post
Is there a specific reason you know it’s the same deer?
No doubting you , just curious. -
They do crazy stuff with age! Even the so called "culls" that are killed every year at 2 and 3 never get to express their full potential. Cool pic!Comment

I am high fenced so I pretty muck know every buck on the place. Because of the age of this buck, he is the only one that fits.Originally posted by Big pig View PostComment

Cant wait to hear the harvest storyComment

Crazy to hear such a drastic change in structure. I know different events and nutritional changes have an impact, I wonder if there was anything like that.Comment

The only thing that i did different nutritionally was to feed only cottonseed from the middle of January until the middle of March. Then I switched back to cottonseed and pelletized protein. We also had great spring rains which I am sure had some impact overall. Having said this, I really believe it has more to do with age than anything else.Originally posted by be12hunt View PostComment
