Good thing he didn't get shot during the shed buck season!

Wow, he is SPECIAL!:way:

I'll take my good camera and video camera tomorrow night. This pic truly doesn't do him justice. He honestly reminds me (frame wise) of the Hansen buck. I know that's a stretch, but I look at a lot of deer throughout the year and few have ever got me excited like this guy. I late muzzy hunted this property and knew there were some great deer in there but have 0 pics of him and no prior sightings. So it really IMO is a crapshoot that he will even be in the area next fall. I scout pretty much year around and you can bet I will be devoting a lot of time into this guy. For now it would just be nice to pic up that right side :grin:

I watched him for 35 minutes tonight through a 60 power spotting scope at 175 yards and if intact I think he would be right around 184 - 186" As a slick 10 that I feel is 4, he has the potential to be world class next year. Hopefully I can share the story if one unfolds! :way:

I can't remember but wasn't Milo's buck aged at 3.5? If you have permission to hunt that property I would be working out a deal with the farmer to leave or put in a standing soybean plot for next years late season in hopes he finds his way back. Then pray for cold weather and one foot of snow to hit about December first.
