    I pulled a card yesterday. It appears I've found my big 10 and he's still around. Guess where I'll be sitting tomorrow...

    Unfortunately, my camera went dead three weeks ago so it will be a bit of a crap-shoot. I'll be out all week though, either way.

    Good luck! hes a dandy for sure!

    Same deer? Look @ the mark on the shoulder. Wound? Rutting wound or arrow?

    Looks like the same deer to me. Hopefully not an arrow, but its definitely something.

    Could just be a rub mark. I wouldn't worry about it. He's still on his feet and coming to feed.

    Check out the potential on this little guy. Got about 15 minutes of video of him yesterday

    If you look closely, there is another wound just in front of the rear leg, in front of the hip. I'm wondering if this isn't a diseased animal.

    Plus, the larger wound doesn't look like it's from an arrow. It almost seems like the wound is traveling up the body towards the spine.

    Just one man's opinion, but I think that's a sick deer.

    looks like his nose is short so probably a young 1.5yr old. If you have more pics it would help.

    I'm guessing at least 2.5. Lot of grey in the face. I'm also looking at its neck. It could just be that it's a picture of a picture on a computer. I think it should be killed before it breeds again...:innocent0

    Still looks like a youngen to me...Im sticking with my 1.5yr old;) small body like the spike. I'd take the spike over the 10pt. looks like hes got some good potential if let go a couple years..

    Idaknow wil. 1.5s around here don't have necks like that. They have scrawny little doe necks. I'm staying with my first minimum age of 2.5. He's also got a more triangular head. Another sign of age. I say he's an underachieving 2.5(or older) year old.

    Hunting this spot for 6 years now, I also think he's 2.5. Sadly, I also think he's the dominant buck in the area now that I killed the other one. One thing's for sure....he's got room to grow, and he'll get it from me.
