I wish I could kill this deer. I missed him last year at 60 yds with the xbow. First time i had seen him at all. Ive been getting his pics for about 10 years!
He's a warrior!

DW he's wider than 20. I would think he is between 28 and 30. I havent got a pic of him in over a month. I hope he's not dead.
I could count on him to hit the cams every night in years past. But with him not showing up lately im thinking he got shot. The locals shoot regularly down there even at night. I'll check the cams today. Maybe he's still.alive!

You I think tour right. I killed a 7 point few years ago that was 21 inches wide inside. And he’s way wider after looking at him. Can’t never tell he may show up. Good luck with him

That buck is pushing 30". A mature whitetail is around 16-18" from ear tip to ear tip. using that you guess how wide he is. He looks to be 10"-12" outside each ear.

I haven't got a pic of him since early December. He's nocturnal. We need to put a pack of dogs on him like we used to!
If he's still alive!

probably moved to a target(doe) rich environment. This time of the year I hunted does, the bucks are usually close by. I loved places where I could climb high and see field edges.

Don't rule out him being killed by one of the other bucks. I followed a couple of old ones like that and never saw any evidence of them being shot when they disappeared. Talked to people on surrounding property and shared pictures, but none knew anything about them being shot.

I had pictures of them fighting and it looked fierce. I figure both of the ones I followed probably got injured fighting and died.
