Same deer.....good recovery...
I posted some photos a while back of a buck I have in my woods with a good left side and a deformed (underformed?) right side. At first....I thought it was another buck I have in my woods. It's not.....but he has made a great "recovery".
Still learning these animals....but this is incredible in my book.
First sighting.....

Great recovery, looking good. I like how his left side really hooks. Hopefully before the hardening takes place his right will finish hard.
Shooter Jeff?

I'd shoot this deer because he's 3.5....for no other reason. He'll also likely outscore my last year's buck.
He's one I'm hoping I see.
No. This is not the one I call the bull. The bull just has a bigger body (compared to the other deer, here....which is how he got his name). This is a 180#+ deer. The bull will go 200#'s easily. That's a big bodied deer for my woods. You'd know that, Rob.

Just curious, when you say that deer will go 180lbs, do youmean dressed out?
