3 years. Found him when he was a 3.5 year old. Had photos of him and picked up his shed that year. Following season I was unable to get it done on him but did see him a couple times. Last year on the opening day of rifle season I put him down which was a very fun chase getting to know that deer well and see him dodge all the pressure to get at least 5 years of age. He was also the biggest deer I've put body wise weighing well over 200 lbs field dressed. For this area that is big

I had one on cam for 3 years in Michigan. He had a non typical rack with a lot of points since he was a 2 year old. All my pics were in summer near ag fields.The buck was unkillable for me because he spent the fall in a big swamp a mile and a half from me all private land that the Amish owned part of it. It was killed by an Amish guy and was a 17 pointer. Very rare here to have history with a buck. Most don't make it past their 2nd or 3rd year

About 5 minutes. Haven't gotten to the point where I am hunting specific bucks. Working on it, it will come. Working on moving past brown is down and being patient and working for something bigger. 5 minutes is about how long it took for me to see, decide to shoot and shoot all 3 of the bucks I have shot
