Crazy Change in 1 Year

Wyo_Roadhunter · Saturday at 6:15 PM

I've never seen a buck change this much in 1 year to a completely different frame. I've watched them switch sides with inlines and cheaters or add a cheater once in a while but to have a completely different frame is crazy. I think the most random change I have seen besides this one was the cheater buck i watched and hunted for a few years grew a 6" drop tine the year my cousin ended up getting him.

The 3 point main frame was last year

No way that's the same buck LOL............... Sweet buck now and even as a big 3 point

Has the same notch in the left ear

The one behind him looks to have the same cheaters starting. He may be one to watch for next year.

That buck has triple eye guards on both sides this year and 2 cheaters out his left side. I haven't got any good pictures of him yet

I think your high fence is a little low, suppose to keep them in the pen

I'm working on getting him to follow a apple trail into my garage

The ear notch and the brows. Same buck

Yes, I know that's why I said "LOL" and that he was cool even as a big 3 point!

Certainly proves 3 pointers are management bucks.....

Many probably know that I've never been a fan of 3x bucks and 3x genetics, but that's a cool buck with all the extras!

....and you've promoted killing them to keep them from getting big like this buck.....

I didn't really want to say anything negative about that particular buck but bucks with a 3x frame will possibly not score very well using the B&C nontypical score sheet even if they have a gob of extra tines. Obviously, score isn't everything.

Cool buck and it's great to see such an incredible increase in only a year or 2!

So you're saying you wouldn't shoot this buck with a 3x3 frame?

I know I hunted him with the 3 point frame haha sucker would never cross that city limits line

I didn’t say I wouldn’t shoot him as a cool nontypical. I just said his 3x frame detracts from his B&C score. Obviously score isn’t everything.

My guess is that the same nontypical genetics are in that herd with 4x4 frame. In fact, there is a 4x4 buck in the 2nd photo. Just think what that buck would be like with a giant 4x4 frame plus extras.

If you had 2 nontypical bucks standing beside each other and 1 had a 3x3 and other had a 4x4 frame with both having similar extra tines, which buck would you shoot?

With that said, he’s still a really cool buck and I would likely shoot him if I couldn’t find a whopper typical or nontypical with a 4x4 frame while scouting/hunting.

Amazing What A Buck Can Turn Into When You Let Em Live A Few Years Isn't It?

Put The 3 Point In Front Of 99.7% Of The DRATS & He's Dieing A 3 Point!

Right Niller?

SAD!

Agreed. That’s pretty crazy for him to change that much.

I will say I would've been in the 99.7%

. I never would have guessed he'd change into this. But I've been wrong lots, looking at the pictures of the king before he was a big deal he was a crab claw 4x5 that I'd have never thought would turn into anything either. Then the bucks I've thought would blow up never changed

Also saw some new pictures of this buck and his cheaters are now splitting too.
