some more 8's...

had a wide racked buck we called Captain Hook on the farm...his tine tips hooked in a bit.
had him on camera over a 3 year period...then he vanished. no trace of him for 2 years.

after the 2 year absence, my dad was in a ladder stand in muzzleloader season that overlooked a food plot & big clearing that we set up; the day had started pretty rainy & windy, and he was at first going to stay home, but decided to come down in case it cleared....by early afternoon the skies cleared, and it turned out to be a good day to be in a tree...he was only up there about 45 minutes when the Captain strolled by...



next one we called Gladius; his tines were noticeably flat & bladed, kinda looked like a roman broad-sword....each year he tended to have a slight kicker starting on his right side, first started seeing him in 2014.
