Nothing real exciting yet. I see the tail-less doe ("Luck Lucy") is still around and with twins this year, a new one I guess I'll crazy "Crazy Rack" and a small 8. There is a big bodied deer with a wide rack in the background of a few pictures that I'm hoping is Rudolph. That'll be my third year chasing him if that's who it is.

Awesome Joel!!!! Nice!

 

[hickslawns]

Good luck Joel. Time for Rudolph to retire onto your wall.

 

[NAC1989]

Good luck!

[motorbreaker]

[Mike]

I hope that is Rudolph and you get a crack at him.

 

[Boarhead]

Good luck$

Really like the Crazy Rack!! I've always been a sucker for NT and funky racks. Keep 'em coming!!

 

[teenbowhunter]

Good looking deer, crazy looks a lot like a deer I had on cam late season. I'll have to see if I have any pics later

Crazy rack lost his velvet and looks even cooler (or crazier) now. Also one showed up that looks familiar from last year.

Crazy Rack is an old timer!

 

[Joel]

A couple more angles of 'ole crazy.

 

[Hortontoter]

I like the character he has. I'd probably take him just due to how funky his antlers are.

Crazy Rack is an old timer!

You think he's old? I've learned a little bit about that just from threads on TOO but really can't tell by just looking at them. Here's a picture that shows a little bit of his body. I was kind of sitting here thinking I might shoot him, then tried to talk myself out of it. Rudolph is still at the top of my list but haven't confirmed if he's even still around.

 

[Hortontoter]

That is a heavy bodied buck. I don't do well aging them, but he is not a youngster.

 

[Joel]

Yeah he does look big. Be interesting to see what the local experts say.

One thing is for sure. If I decide I want to shoot him (pretty early to say for me), it'd be hard to mistake another one for him. lol

 

[Fullbore]

His rack is surprisingly spindly in my opinion. He's got good body mass, but mark my words, his first descent fight. His rack is getting smashed!!!!

 

[bowhunter1023]

I do think he's older. His nose is long and thick. Neck is full all the way in to the front shoulders. Belly is sagging and he's filled out back to his hips. I'm confident in saying he's at least 4.
