Photo Gallery of a Buck's life

wow. that is incredible. excellent job by the photographer. thanks for sharing

1. Pic 2 is why you set age as a limiter and not horns.
2. I would have said 4.5 without hesitation when seeing the 3.5 pic
3. I don't think all pics are the same deer. especially 4.5.

Awesome read. I sort of teared up there at the end

Good read, thanks for sharing

I would assume this guy knows his stuff, but I would never guess this deer would score 165" here. Maybe because his body is so big it makes his antlers look smaller.

5 1/2: His antlers are a little different from the previous year. He is a basic 9-pointer, but in spite of having two fewer points, his antlers are slightly larger than the previous year - 165 inches. His estimated body weight is 250 pounds.

Same here. Didn't want to be the first to admit it.

Which is exactly why we need to end their lives valiantly in the prime range of 5.5-8.5 before they become old and sad.

Should have shot that buck that fricked him up and turned him into a hobbit.

the last picture of him was sad. reminded me of the way my dog started to look near his end.
