I was on stand early, today....and the second deer I saw came in about 4:30. He was headed to a small pond I was set up against to get a drink.

I immediately noted the heavy beams. I figure he WAS an 8-pointer....but every single tine he "had" was broken off. He was a really cool looking buck.....and if he'd made it 10yds closer....I was gonna try ot take him. I would 've had him mounted, too. He has to be a scrappy fella.

Lots of people would've probably passed on him due to his tines missing. I thought it was the neatest thing. I really wish he'd presented a shot op. I'd love to have taken him.

Anybody see a similar buck?
