Default RE: Mature Bucks - Nocturnal...Camera Shy....

This guy was aged between 6.5 and 7.5 years old (the buck on the right). I got video of him fighting with this smaller buck (the pic quality is bad because I pulled it from my camcorder). I ended up shooting this buck Dec.of 2004 with a rifle, I had been bowhunting through our rifle season and while checking a game camera in my backyard I saw this buck get up and walk away, he had both his front legs smashed up, one was broke above the hoof and the other hoof was half gone. I quickly made the decision to leave the bow at home and head after him with my rifle knowing that it wouldn't count for the bowhunting contest. I had game cameras setup in this property throughout the summer and fall and he avoided them, the night I took this video was the only time I saw him before the day I shot him.
