Got photos of this buck on our trail camera last year as a nice young 8 pt, but never saw him during the day during the season. Saw him for the first time during Muzzleloading this year running does back in forth in and out of thick brush just 80 yards away and never presented a good shot! Videoing my brothers hunt, we snuck right up on him as he was holed upp with some does again, never knew we were there and you guessed it never presented a shot then one of the doe, being fed up with Mr. Big decided to bolt so he chased in pursuit. Got a couple nice trail camera pics. of him this summer as a huge mainframe 8, took over one of my mock scrapes too. Never saw him throughout the rest of the season, until about last week when i checked the camera again, only to find a huge bodied deer, with no antlers and scabs on his head. I guess we'll play this game again next year.

Cool post idea too by the way.
