Bucks, returning one year to the next.

[Kaiser878]

Posted thsi on OS, just now getting a chance to post here.

I am extremely intrigued by bucks returning from one year to the next. Which leads to me being obsessed with antler growth from one year to the next. One thing I am noticing is the time frame these bucks follow! Of the deer that I get photos of that are not resident deer, they seem to arrive around the same date, from year to year.


Here are a couple deer that have a returning history!

Shorty 08

Shorty 09 (He was shot by my neighbor in the second gun season in 09)

Junk 09 (named for his obvious crappy rack)

Junk 10

Towering Tony (09)

Towering Tony (10)

Roamer 09

Roamer 10

10

I don't see that many from one year to the next because I get so many deer on the roam in a year's time. All I know is the one buck I built the most history with went from a 145" 12-point as a 3.5, to a 183" 18-point as a 4.5 and that will most likely be something I will never witness again.

Got a grand total of four pics of this deer. Not a bad line up if I do say so myself!

Can I name the last one in your original post?
how about "Scar" because of that chunk out of his ear. Or maybe "Dumbo". A couple of Disney references, but they kind of fit.

Great pics by the way.

This is my second year running cameras and last year I had very few pictures of bucks. What amazed me is the number of bucks I ended up with this year. Awesome. What I found more impressive is how much antler growth they put on in the spring and how quickly at times. I will dig some out later.
