Default RE: What buck haunts you???

The buck that haunts me is one that I had been watching since he was 2.5 years old. He was then a 9 point with about a 17" spread. At 3.5 he was a 10 point with a spread in the 19" range. At 4.5 he was a 12 (with a broken tine) with a 20+" spread. At 5.5 he was a 12 with towering tines, and at least a 22" spread. You could probably fit 2 basketballs in his antlers. He would always show himself in the weeks leading up to the season and disappear like a ghost once it opened up. I saw him once in season as a 5.5 year old. Two does came down a trail about 50 yards away and the way they were looking back I knew something was coming. It was him and he moved through the heavy brush 50 yards away without making a sound. I had left my grunt call in the car so all I could do was watch him slip away. That was about 13 years ago and I would guess that deer to score in the mid 160's.[:@]
