And the match! This is a deer I call "Deja Vu" He strongly resembles a ten point I killed in 2014. He's a little smaller, but same antler configuration. I had seen the attempt at splits on his G2s and told myself next year he might split them and add some character. Ironically he cleaned up this year instead! It was last year he was split. I've been watching this deer since the summer. He was one of the first big ones to show up on my cameras but a couple larger deer showed up. I had them down as being mature from the basic mistake of looking at their antlers in the summer and planned my season around them. After getting October photos I decided to hold off this year though. Today I went to remove some trail cameras and in "Deja Vu's" area I knew I had a little time to kill and not enough to go check more cams so I wandered the side of the ridge I hadn't been on. He has a bed behind a deadfall that I was attracted to from a very large cedar rub. This deer is a pig. Huge body. 5.5 and 6" base. The sheds score 150.25 with a 16" spread. Now I have a lot of reason to find the next set!
