Thanks for all the encouragement everyone, I'm not getting my hopes up, I know better. It will however keep me going on those cold rainy days on stand...

Well the 13 point got rid of the velvet. Not a ton of mass, but decent tine length. I'm almost positive this deer is only 3.5. One could only imagine what a year or two would do. That being said, I'd love to get a crack at him, but also wouldn't mind seeing him make it a year or two.

That's a dandy buck, another year or two sounds great, but to many things can go wrong in that amount of time. I'd take the shot if it presents itself. Hope you get a crack at him.
There's no doubt in my mind I'd hit the release on this deer. Subconsciously, I think I'm preparing myself not to get that shot and already thinking positively about that outcome. Either way, always exciting having a buck or two to keep your head in the game.

Just a quick 5 day soak, it's time to start watching more closely. Note the time of appearance of the big 13. 752pm, he's flirting with danger. Another old friend showed up again, the big nine from last season. I guessed him to be 4.5/5.5 last year, he very well could be 6.5 this year. He is on the downswing as far as antler growth. Another 2.5 year old shows a promising future as well.
