Shot the wrong Tank…..

[redblood]

Followup to the "want that jawbone thread". With no super mature deer on cam where i live i focused on a smalll farm my family owns. Had a buck show up we named Tank. 5.5 or 6.5. Rack so so, highlighted by and odd point between high g2 and g3 on his left side and a little crab claw point on the other main beam. He showed up yesterday but i was hunting 7 miles away. Got in the tree today at 3 and shot him around 4 chasing a doe. Saw he was fully mature and the crab claw and released an arrow. It wasnt till i got him that i noticed the nontypical point missing. Went back and reviewed the pics and realized they are 2 different bucks. Both were there yesterday. Guess i shot Tank 2. Oh well, neither will be score much but age is the only thing that interests anymore. This dude will make a lot of jerky. Sure wasnt fun dragging him a quarter mile.

Here is tank 1- he was there 2 nights ago

I hope to seal the deal on tank 1 . I think tank 2 is 4.5 and tank 1 is 5.5- but would love to send both to deerage.com to know for sure

Redblood, I love following your hunting exploits, I'm trying to figure out the two holes in his side. Jus curious. Congrats on a fine buck!!

I thought that was an awful amount of weight loss but never crossed my mind that they were different deer. Congrats on a great buck

I gave him a second shot. Turned out to be unnecessary but the farm is a jungle and i didnt want him to get too far in.

I don't hunt too far from you. Does are starting to come in to heat. I'm going be taking some time off from work to get out there.

I know your area. This deer was a bedford county buck but only about 5 miles from your area

Congrats! Did you weigh him?

 

[redblood]

Congrats! Did you weigh him?

I didnt. It took me awhile to get him out. He was a big long deer. I think the tank 1 is a tad older, i will definitely weigh him if i am fortunate enough to get him
