What Would You Do?

I have learned that well fed east tx deer don't wear teeth like deer on bare sand. I have said it before but I truly believe a deer can naturally live longer in east tx than any where else if the nutrition is enhanced and he is allowed the time.

What an awesome buck! Thanks for the update. What do you do to enhance their nutrition?

Bump for a good reason to not follow "If it's brown it's down"

That's the same deer? Man... completely different antler configuration.

This is a very old thread but definitely the same deer. He always had kicked back right brow. He threw a solid g4 on his left side and the g3 kicker got big and repeated every year. We named him Kicker3. He always threw straight g2s but g3s curled forward. He retained that and brow shape all his life.

The eye injury drastically changed him. He went freaky with a third beam. His last year, we were surprised he came back with a g4 on both sides and lost the g3 kicker for the first time .

That’s what I had noticed. Brow tines we’re similar at both ages.

Yes he did. You can see it in every one of the first pics if his mouth is closed. I'll fire up an ol puter next week and get year to year pics if you like.

I believe you Im just amazed at the changes.

People forget that the person who presents the pics has a lot more data than just the pictures.
