[quote="Kraftd"][quote="Bucky"]He shed last yr Dec 17th per trailcam pics.... Dec 12th this yr. Oldest confirmed buck I have hunted if he makes it through winter.

Have you been watching him 8 years?

A buck that I had fall off three years ago just showed up this week. I figured he died. I don't know how they do it.

Neighbor and I have 11 shed antlers off this buck and 6 years worth of Summer/Fall/Winter/Spring trailcam photos... I actively hunted him hard in 2011 and 2012 (last year he busted his rack early season). This year I shot him Opening weekend with a bow and hit him low in the front left leg and then I missed him with the muzzleloader at just over 200 yards. Lots of history with this buck... he was more visible this year than the last 3 years combined. If he grows a 130"+ rack next year he will be at the very top of my "wish" list! :lol:

Why is he not dead? He lives in over 400 acres of this.... no huntable trees, just marsh grass, willows, red brush, and cattails. I'm sure if we pushed him out we could kill em.... rifle I tend to not actively hunt him until this year. I would prefer that the neighbor or I bow shoot em or he just dies of old age

That is one of his confirmed beds... he went to it when I injured him and I found his right shed in it this past week
