Wow, really nice rack
Yeah, probably wouldn't score great because of how tight the rack is but man those tines are massive.
So what you are saying is that we should let him go another two years until there are more tines, right? ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

That'd be proper management
, however, if somebody is going to shoot him this year, might as well be you.
Well considering we're hunting my property for the first time, and I suspect the hunting pressure in my area is low (I think we've seen this buck the past 3 years), it is an option. Heck it might even happen naturally if we never see him during daylight hours.That'd be proper management
If you have enough land you could put out a couple food plots and start managing the herd. If you do get a shot at him, he'd definitely be a deer to be proud of, real nice buck. Hard telling what another year or two would do to the rack, might have more points, or mass but the shape will be similar. I've only seen 3-4 deer that nice hunting in 18 years, shot one 2 years ago.
Problem is...it's acreage yes (~6), but mostly wetland/swampy with some dry areas around the edges. I tried to do some micro-plots; failed miserably. I would have to do some real forest clearing to get enough rain/sunlight to hit the ground to even allow growth.

My old man shot a spike Buck last weekend, so I put the gut pile out on the far corner of the farm bc I've always figured dead deer scent would spook deer and draw predators, put a cam on it for lawlz, within 48 hours I got multiple shots of yotes eating the guts, a spike Buck, a 4pt, a 6pt, and this 8pt, plus a bunch of does all over the area. Yotes cleaned the guts out on the first night.

This was from Friday night, I recharged the battery on the DVR and didn't reset the date.

Dammit!! You know how many times I started holding my breath while watching that as you aligned the crosshairs on the deers chest cavity?!? Outta breath now...
I figured it was mounted on a rifle or something. Kept waiting for the bang.

Awesome bob pic! Not too often you see that pose on trail camera.
I have a nice video of him too but I'm not sure how to upload it as it doesn't work on my phone only computer
Good to go Jim
