I've always wondered how so many hunters claim to of watched a certain buck from the age of 1 1/2. I have had trail cameras for years and never have I been able to say with certainty that I watched them from 1 1/2 years of age. Now, I do believe once they reach 2 1/2, they become more recognizable with more noticeable antler growth. Just my thought and congrats on the awesome buck.
