I enjoy finding and hunting specific deer, so I generally have a ton of pics and video before I actually shoot them (multiple years worth). It’s been probably 6 years since I had a surprise buck show up and killed it at first sight.
We’ll see what he looks like in 4-5 yrs. Bouncy lil bugger. Ear tips and black tail should be easy to track.
Some bucks in photos are like “wow”, others have “ground shrinkage”. One is missing a fork on an antler. All good bucks, some angles just have wow-factor.
