We had a buck we had been watching since he was a 1 1/2. He was a 10 point buck at a 1 1/2, and from there til 3 1/2. One of our neighbors shot him last year in the butt he said. We found the sheds last year, and they scored 155". We got pictures of him this year. He will be 4 1/2 this year, and he only has 9 points. He still grew more mass, spread, and some tine length. He lost the g4 on his right side though. It looks like he will gross in the 160's, and net in the 150's. We were wondering though. If we were to pass him up this year do you think at 5 1/2 his rack would go back to normal? Would he grow back 10 points again? I know when they are wounded it causes the opposite side of there rack to mess up, but I didn't know if it only did it the next year. Or if it was that way for the rest of there lives? Does anyone have any input? Thanks
