LAST EDITED ON Jul-09-05 AT 08:51PM (MST)[p]I've been watching this buck for a couple years now....symmetrical 4x4 that is about as good as it get's....for a whitetail.....I've found only two sheds from him, one year apart, but in an odd way I've at least got a match, LOL

I've also managed to get close to 20 trail cam pics of him through the past year and a half.....

Here he is...this February at a scrape, and last July in velvet....his shed from this spring (right-68") and his shed from two springs ago (left-62")....factoring in that he's got a good 20+ inside spread, he was a 160-class buck last year......can't wait to see what he looks like in the coming months....he has that little kicker off his right base, that gives him away in a lot of pics...

nice pics and finds, rut...i don't think a lot of people know what goes into staying with a critter and getting his pics and his sheds...lots of time and work, for sure...thanks for sharin'em...

LAST EDITED ON Jul-17-05 AT 07:48AM (MST)[p]Thanks Littlefoot.......I've managed to get a couple early pics of him in velvet this year.....waiting to catch him with some bigger growth here any time now.....

He's hard to nail down, because he doesn't travel the same way everyday, like some big lazy bucks will do during the summer.......he still likes to mix things up....hopefully have some more pics of him for you all soon....

Nice story and great documentation.

Will you harvest him this year if you get the chance?

LAST EDITED ON Jul-17-05 AT 01:27PM (MST)[p]Oh hell ya, I will...seeing as where he's at, I can only hunt him with bow....if I can do my homework, and manage to get close to him this fall, all I'll have to worry about is not crapping my pants before I squeeze my release off...

Hopefully he grows them big brows he had two years ago, but I don't care as long as he gains as much as he did last year, he will be a B&C contender.....as a 4x4, that's nearly unheard of for a whitey.....
