I'm not sure what to think here. The top photo was taken in 2004 when I saw this buck a few times and never got close to him. We have photos from 2002 when he was a 2 1/2 year old buck so I'm assuming he's 4 1/2 in these photos. Nice healthy deer, not super wide, decent mass and tine lenght. I'm figuring in the 140's as a 10 pointer.
Last year I never confirmed that I saw him. My dad and I both saw a big ten pointer with a bunch of stickers that we assumed was him but never got a great look nor did we get any photos or find his sheds.
This past week I got a photof of a buck that looks identital to "Mr. Buck", as we have so dubbed him, but I'm not sure if it's him or not. I have a hard time believing this buck is 6 1/2 in this photo, but his rack is a spitting image of the 2004 buck. Dual crabclaws, doesn't look to be too overly wide, and the start of some kickers off both G-2's. Either this is the same buck, or one of his offspring.
What do you guys think?
