The shed buck...

Here's a bruiser of a buck that I have a little bit of history with. This pic was emailed to me by a buddy of mine who is hunting this deer. He's not the biggest racked buck that I ever seen but dang, he's got a neck on him for Sept 22nd!!! This guy has to be at least 6.5 years old...a real old-timer by NY standards.

Last year's sheds. I found the right side and the neighbor kid found the left:

The mass at the base of the shed is by far the most impressive feature...

His antler from last year compared to a previous set (either from '09 or '08):

That little lump of fat between his front legs in the first picture, is that an indication that he's well fed, or just getting on in years? I've seen that on the big buck I'm hunting, so, a bit curious.

P.S. That is some impressive buck, you tag a wiley old deer like that with a bow and you've done something!

Thanks WNY, they definitely have bick necks in common, but no deer ever taken up on the farm has ever had a rack like that. At least not in the past 30 years.

Yeah, that's his brisket...they become more pronounced with age. I'd like to see what his neck looks like now after another month of being jacked up on testosterone. I bet there's some shredded trees around!!!

The area that this buck calls home has produced several giants over the past few years. All three of these bucks were killed within a mile or so from where this guy is...

A 15 year old amish kid just over the kill shot this one in '09...

And of course there's this monster from last season. He was killed on the same property as the buck from the trailcam pics...

But, we have no big deer in this state, right? Better shoot that 4-pt before the neighbor get him... :rolleyes: .
