He managed to be the 52 buck we got a picture of in 2005, and 2006. So he became buck 52.

Thats close but your years are off Aaron. In 2007 he was the 52nd different buck I had identified from trail cam pics thoughout the previous years. we weren't able to say he was the same buck until you got good pics in hard antler that winter. Then, going back His picture in 2006 (2.5yrs) was the 52nd picture of a buck I had got.

We both have never seen a buck become less non-typical. Last year he surely would have been scored non-typical because of the big forking G-2s. This year he has just one smaller fork and only a few smaller abnormal points. I guess I always figured he would keep the forks and keep adding kickers but this is as clean as he has been in 3 years.

He should put up about close to 50 inches in mass. Last year his Left H-3 was 5.5 inches. I'm hoping all the guess work on his score will be a moot point in the near future.

I think the best part of this buck is the race to get him. I have a pic of him in velvet at 2.5 years and 3.5 years. Fred has pics in hard antler at 3.5, velvet pics at 4.5 and now 5.5 years. I have video of him in early velvet at 4.5 and a chunk of his shed at 4.5. I think we are dead even and its a race to get the final trophy.

I might just let you take Sandy, Johnson, Master P, El Tardo, or even Droopy; and I'll settle for 52. Game on!

Good Hunting, may you get deer blood on your broad head.

NO! Your to seasoned at this game. I'm not driving four hours every time I want to see the mount! :lol: Although I have always loved the idea of a bunch of people, on a huge chunk of land in a competition for the best buck. Personally I think that would be awesome, I think we have enough people into this we just need 10,000 acres to borrow :roll:

If he would only play that easy! I've been invited to Jackson county a number of times, but I have never went. Although I know it's a great area for deer.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....................
I have a hunting strategy!
Get a game cam, take 51 pictures of bucks with it, then hang the camera in the area he frequents and hunt over the camera! :shock: :? 8) :lol: :lol:

Hope you get a chance to tag him this year, I think we might need him to offset the score for the buck I'll probably shoot. :roll: :lol: :lol:
