They do this in Kansas as well, even during the rut. It's always a 2 1/2 y.o. or long yearling, nothing any older, and usually a 2 1/2 y.o..
I call the young ones, "pilot bucks," and I agree, I've seen quite a few VERY LARGE bucks during the rut with one and even two pilot bucks.

The deer was never killed. I hvw a picture of him standing by a pretty nice 2.5-3.5 year old 8 point and he makes it look like a fawn. I'll post it tomorrow.
I seen him once in season and he was a good 300 yards off. I had my 30-30 and he was walking around looking for a doe he had been chasing.

Master Chief, I live and hunt here in West Tenn. A county that borders Ky. Not to narrow your place down, are you north or south of Jackson ? That is an exceptional deer for our area, as you well know. Appears to be a river bottom deer, or near Ky.

I seriously can't see him grossing under 160 how he is in the pictures. He looked a good bit bigger last season but everything looks bigger in the stand lol

I am familiar with your area, somewhat. I am near the Ky border, Obion River Bottom. I hope you are on some private ground and not near some of the more public. I sure do hope you are blessed to get a good shot him this fall ! That will be a great deer for our area. As you well know, with our buck limits, things are getting better. If you are able to take him, send me a private MSG and let me know. Good luck this fall !

I would be happy to just to see him again.
Ive heard that deer often shed their antlers were they are during bow season so I might set a stand up were I got these pics (got him on cam the next week antlerless)
I mostly am going to focus on getting the 130" buck Ive been getting on camera though. He isn't as smart and I know exactly how Ill hunt him. My biggest buck was only 90" and I really want to get one for the wall and a P&Y with my bow.
I most likely will set a stand up were these pics were taken though. Just in case I get that voice in my head saying today is the day. I definately know were to hunt him in the rut(where I saw him last year). I actually shot my 8 point a few days after I saw him.

As a retired LE officer I think the following quote from this thread is pretty lame and insulting. It isn't funny and it isn't true and a pizz poor analogy! " like a old cop veteran, letting the rookie go thru a hostile door first".
