[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5776756, member: 20583"] I know it's cliche and even off-putting to some folks, but this is exactly why I name bucks. When you're keeping track of many different individual bucks and most span multiple years, it's imperative to assign identity for the purpose of organization and reference. For instance a very big mature 10pt showed up this year and I didn't immediately recognize him. But by looking at previous years I realized it was "High and Tight". I'd had pics of him for years. So searching only that name I was able to see all of his favorite haunts and when he liked being there. Using that info I was able to get within bow range of a 5.5-6.5yr old buck three times in two weeks. I never shot him because his right beam got broken off but predictably getting within 20yds of a mature buck three different times was quite affirming that the system worked. Had I not named him he would have been just another 8pt or 10pt in a file full of them and I'd have likely not narrowed down all the historical data I had on him to put together a hunt plan. [/QUOTE]
