I've been watching this deer nearly every day. He's in the same area as a couple of bigger ones I seen a couple of weeks ago but am having no luck seeing them again. These deer come out every night though!
I watched one very similar at another place. He's just flipped the other way. The really cool thing here in Ohio is how giant the bodies are. This guy absolutely dwarfs the doeDang, those are some nice bucks! I really like the one with the messed up left antler.

That is why all the wildlife photographers go to the South Texas to photograph bucks. The racks look enormous because even a mature buck there generally doesn't weigh more than 170 pounds on the hoof. I've seen 5 1/2 year-olds there that only live weight in the 150-160 range. Put a 150 rack on a 150-pound buck and he looks like a 180 buck.I love it! That right there is a great example of why guessing scores on a living buck is so tricky. His rack looks proportionate to his body, but his body dwarfs that other deer. Put his rack on that little deer and it would look like it gained 50".
