Re: Opinions?
Yep, I think so because of that little "extra" thing below his left ear.

Re: Opinions?
Both have a small slit in the left ear too, so its the same buck.

Usually by year four they're getting decent mass.

Re: Opinions?
Yeah, same guy. He definitely split his left ear. You've got some good minerals in the soil for him to add that much bone in a year. Good genes on his part too.
I've been feeding the deer at my house for 25 years and have several does who range from 1 to 12 years old that I see every day, The bucks here leave to seek their own turf after they shed the velvet off their first set of antlers and I usually never see them again. Helps keep the herd genetically diverse. I get bucks showing up around the rut to chase does, but that's it.

Re: Opinions?
My front yard at camp is a busy place. I like to go out there and drink coffee and sit on the couch. Turkeys are frequent visitors too. We have an agreement, don't gobble in the yard!

Re: Opinions?
I don't think that the tissue tag below the left ear is a "growth", but the lower portion of the severely ripped ear. Kroll did a study in Texas financed by the DNR and numerous private ranches to evaluate the potential antler growth of "cow" spike bucks and found that unlike the prevailing opinion that "cow" spike bucks were genetically inferior and would never produce significant antlers, just the opposite was true. Many of the "cow" spikes they studied produced 8 and even 10 point racks the next year which changed the prevailing attitude of eliminating "cow' spike bucks as undesirable for the genetic health of the deer herd.

Re: Opinions?
Yep. He's safe from me until at least 2023. Now he probably doesn't want to walk by by Mom next year. If he does he probably won't see his 4th birthday.ICDEDTURKES wrote: ↑November 5th, 2018, 7:24 pm Hate to be that guy as I hate that guy. But give him 2 yrs gonna be a monster. Pretty cool
