Survivors

[johnplav]

I’m pretty sure this is the 11 point who avoided me this season (I know... it doesn’t look like an 11 in these pics).  And an 8 that he’s hanging with.  I got pictures of him in Sept-Oct and saw him twice during bow but he was out of range.  He disappeared during the regular season...  Good to know he’s out there still.  I’ll find the old pics of him and post them too.

Same deer, right?  Cool if it is, and hell... cool if it’s not too!!

could be.

Looks to be same one. Amazing how they can survive from year to year.. I really believe our biggest bucks die of old age never seen by hunters after they are 4 or so..

Im blown away every year by some of the deer that I get on camera.  Without the camera I’d never know they existed.

Drop those antlers you big old bastard

I think that if a Deer makes it through 3 or 4 hunting season they will probably die of old age .... just my opinion !

Well I’m certainly doing my part to help him die of old age.

I agree that some do die of old age.. No doubt. I used to laugh when i heard this saying.. but there's not doubt its true with certain specimen ..

Should be able to make it down this weekend to check cameras and look for sheds.  Although the snow and ice on the ground may present a challenge.

i wished bucks around the farm died from old age. lol  if you're in an area they can get old enough to drop some ignorance and stay alive then there might be some.

The big eleven (now 10) point was still hanging on to his antlers as of the 1/31.

Got a weird series of pics when this7 point decided to fight with a little 3 pointer, then turn his aggression toward my camera and re-position it.

(After that I was  only getting pics of a few ears and antlers.)

Finally some evidence of antlers dropping in 8H.  And a coyote has been hanging around.  Luckily there are not many coyotes around this spot, but there are a ton of fox.
