Same buck diff angle. Any thoughts, I think he will be a smaller 8 when finished, Hard to say but compared to some others I have seen.

I have been watching this buck for the last 4 years, and he seems to have lost an eye last fall.... should get a better pic of him sooner or later, and have a clearer view of it. Looks like his antlers are going down hill as well....

This one is best so far. He is starting to grow UP instead of OUT now. Saw him look at me through binos looked about 22" inside spread. Hope to keep him around.

Backyard buck
From: Keadog

The best of 12 or so in the local bachelor group (the one on the right). He's a resident that survived last year at what we guesstimated was 140" gross. I was about to shoot him last October when a bigger deer I had never seen before came up behind him, saving him to (I hope) get 20" or so bigger.

I like the deer pics but, I'd rather see the picture of Carrie Underwood's toned bodied after having her baby. that Pat has behind his second trail cam pic. :^). Call me stupid. Call me off topic. I don't care. I just want to see Carrie Underwood's toned body. Am I alone?
From: Chip T.
02-Jul-15
WV- Calm down man! Take a deep breath. It isn't Pat's pic but my pic you were looking at. Can't help you with her pic and since she is pretty much against hunting you can just fantisize all you want about her toned body and curvacious curves, etc:)

Pretty cool looking double beamed buck that is new to me this season. Still trying to figure out if I had him last year with a typical rack.
From: Oakie
07-Jul-15
This will be my biggest Oklahoma buck this year. Let him go last year as a 135-140" 10. Looks like he's developing some kickers on his G2s this year. Should be a good buck.
From: Oakie
07-Jul-15
In terms of a deer I really want to get but who won't 'score', the buck on the left is 5+ now. He's as mean as his angry face looks and dominant and a great challenge. I let him walk at 3 hoping he'd blow up but he just isn't making many gains yet.

Jason that's an incredible buck!
From: jasondwhite
15-Jul-15
Yes it is. I've shot several deer between 150 & 165 gross. Don't get me wrong...those are nice deer. This deer is what we dream about as deer hunters. I can't tell if the right brow is split or if that is something else. Either way he will end up grossing (and netting) well beyond what I have taken. I'll have to come clean and say this pic was taken on the neighbors property but the deer was literally 30 yards from one of our stands and 10 yards off our property line...so he technically isn't "MY class of 2015". You can bet I will be concentrating on this property this fall though!!!

I personally don't have a single good pic of a nice buck yet this year. I'm lucky if the cams don't freeze up. I'm about to pitch my game cams in the trash. The old M80s have failed me this year.

Jasondwhite. I think you have my picture. Please do not post any pictures or mine that are not yours. I'm your supposedly neighbor and I have never seen you before. How do you know it's 30 yards from your spot or tree stand? I wanna know how you got MY PICTURE! Please feel free to contact me at anytime.
From: jasondwhite
15-Jul-15
Max, I apologize if that is your picture. All I can tell you right now is that I got an email from my friend and son of the property owner that I hunt on. I was told the deer was just across the fence to the west and I have a tree stand very close to the west property line. Two things may have happened....my friend got a random picture and is screwing with me big time or I actually do hunt next to your property and shouldn't have shared a picture that wasn't mine. Either way I apologize. Since you are from Wisconsin, I'm betting on the first option. Guess I learned a valuable lesson....don't post a pic if it didn't come directly from your card. Again..sorry.

17-Jul-15
Max, I'll shoot you a PM and give you my phone number. If you were upset that a simple picture of your's was posted i don't want to disclose the location here on an open forum. That wouldn't make much sense. If we actually do hunt near each other I would love to talk to you.

Max i only hope you drew a nr deer tag this season .i wish you the best !
Why some set up on property lines makes no sense what happens when buck is just on other side of the fence do u shoot and lie !!!or steps over fence u hit it and then jumps back over , do u track without permission cause its such a good buck .

Do you all think its a really bad infection? Wonder if you shot him with a 22 in the bottom of that thing (broadside so it didnt hit his body)if it would drain.
I shot a couple bucks in the past with serious infections on the chest. Most of them had unusual racks that make it more likely for them to get stabbed while fighting another buck. I think that's what happened to this guy.
From: cityhunter
17-Jul-15
I would contact local Bio guy and CO ,dont think a 22 is a good choice .
From: drycreek

This is a buck from a small lease that I'm a part of. Just a conveniant drive from home. I guess it's the best buck currently on the place. Three others hunt here also, so his days are probably numbered. He's probably safe from me, I have better places to hunt, but I enjoy this too because one of my oldest friends and his son hunt here as well.

Just had what I believe to be a 3.5 year old 9pt growing a G2 kicker, possibly 2 kickers... This buck I let go last year. I have picture of him staring down my 3d Deer Target my son took of him last November, after I watched him breed a doe at noon on same day. I had him dead to rights a few times later that season, and he got the pass... A little disappointed he didn't blow up more, I bet next year he will if he makes it... Will try to find him from last year too... Oh and Wildgame takes crappy pics!

This isn't new but i always loved this picture. This is one from the farm from a couple years back.
From: Barry Wensel

I just wanted to weigh in (no pun intended) on the buck posted above on July 17 by Tndeer. In 2011 we found a shed from one side of a 4x4 that had a G2 which measured 13 5/8". I saw him in 2011 and he appeared totally healthy. In 2012 he came by me at 12 yds. cruising alone in November and ended up walking right under me. I easily could have killed him but he had this giant tumor on his brisket. In fact, it was close to twice the size of the one pictured above extending back between his front legs. It was about the size of an elongated big watermelon. By the way, I got this all on video. Although his G2s were probably 14" I decided to pass him up thinking the meat might not be okay to eat and he could heal the next year. A year later, almost to the day from the same stand, here he comes again. I could see the tumor was now about the size of a softball. He rubbed a tree right in front of me for a timed seven minutes straight before he offered me the broadside shot at 19 yds. I killed him without hesitation (also all on video) and he only made it 100 yds. or so. Upon examination at the original location of the huge tumor he now had a dry scab maybe four inches long and two inches wide. As I said, there was now a much smaller tumor, but off to the side of the original. I'm pretty sure I know what happened. I personally think the original tumor got so big that he lanced it while trying to jump a tight barbed wire fence. It drained and he was none the worse for wear. I took him to get professionally butchered and talked to them about his situation. The guy said he sees a lot of similar situations and it's normally just a benign fatty tumor. He said unless there's infection they simply cut away the area and process it as normal. If it's at all tainted they discard the meat. He ended up tasting great. By the way, he field-dressed 212 lbs.; was 7.5 years old and the G2s were "only" 13 inches. They're tough critters, so unless they are obviously suffering there's a good chance they'll pull through bigger and better. BW
