So true. Antler growth is impressive this year. These are two and three year olds that were all little forks and 100" basket racks last year.

I had a closer look at the 20" Net buck. Looks like his pedicle has been damage. It will be interesting to see how he grows this year and maybe next.

Bulldog, just a handheld phone with a spotting scope. The rain kept the pics blurry. A phonescope would be a wise addition....


Flyguyd, I have seen a few deer with one funky antler but they rarely seem to live very long, just natural mortality. This guy has been pretty predictable and hopefully will grow and show. If a spear doesn't get in his way.
