Shot a 7 year old management buck this am in the rain.

Had a lot going on recently and didn’t think I was going to be able to hunt this year but wife kicked me out of the house 
Got to my ranch yesterday by myself and it’s been raining the whole time with water everywhere. Kinda of a nice time being here by myself but the work starts tomorrow.
I have a lot of history with this deer because he broke his leg in 2023 and had bone sticking out and we didn’t think he would make it. We gave him the benefit of the doubt and he pulled through. Never really changed his antlers with the leg injury but added two points, width(18 inches) and mass this year.

7 years is solid management and discipline. Not a lot of people allow that. I like your style. Saturday I passed on a nice 10 that had a double main beam on his right side hoping he’ll make 7 or older. It’s a crap shoot sometimes.
Continued prayers for your bride and her medical team.

I take a very simple approach. Let them grow to get as big as they can and shoot them before they die of old age
I’ll let some friends or friends kids shoot some 5 to 6 year old 8’s to help manage the mouths but other than that we let them walk until they have some age on them.

I’ve had a few like that and never saw them again. I wonder if they lose that trait the next year.
^^^ this deer still haunts my dreams. His was an 8, then an 8 with a drop, then an 8 with two nice drops. That’s a Beaumont deer on a little 20 acre honey hole I have. Been feeding it for 10 years and never killed a deer on it.
I’ve also had some add several points by letting them grow.

That’s not a management buck, that’s a mature buck.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
