Man I hate to break your heart, but that guy was hit by a car in November.
Okay, okay, I was lying and that was really mean lol It is a dang nice buck and I hope he comes back around for you next year. I've spent a lot (A LOT) of time worrying about target deer being killed. Most times I end up finding out the deer is still alive whether it be by cam pics a year later or like even here recently I found out by someone else's cam pics. Sometimes they move on to a different area. I hope you don't find out he is dead.. Until next year when he is in front of your stand :D
