He will definitely be the focus of my season next year.

Hope you have much better luck with him than I had with the main "focus" of my 2012 season!

I had been watching an above average antlered buck for a couple years, and believed him to be 3 1/2 in the Fall of 2011. Found his sheds, both of them, last Spring, and gross scored them at 134 as a "clean" 8-pt typical. This one was very similar to what you have a pic of, but with shorter brows. Not only did I never see him in 2012, but never even got a pic. No idea what happened to him, other than he survived the 2011 deer season, and I found his fresh sheds about a year ago.

Just never know. Sometimes they'll do a range-shift thing one year, then come back after not being seen for a couple years. Part of why this is called "hunting".

At least this one you're "tracking" has such unique brows to make him highly identifiable, even as an 8-pt typical.

He's a GREAT 3.5 year old buck. I agree with most that he's prob 130 to 135... Here's one to compare him to that's the same kinda basket rack with tall tines. He scored 148 and change...Not the best pic cause he's 10 foot in the air so its an upward angle not level...Looking forward to seeing his sheds and him in velvet next year... He's going to be a BEAST!!!
