Sometimes it's better to be lucky

[BSK]

Been after this buck for two years. Never thought I would see him considering in two years I've never gotten a single picture of him in daylight. Last morning of MZ season, just after I had decided to stay in stand just a few extra minutes, here he comes...

This buck had a very pronounced limp. I was sure he had been shot in a front leg or shoulder in the past. However, with him in hand I found out he was a survivor of the big EHD outbreak two years ago. Half of his left front hoof was sloughing off. Must have been like walking on a foot with a ripped off toenail.

Nice buck! Love the wide frame and brows! Congrats!

Not a high-scoring buck by any means (133 gross), but a very, very unique rack shape. Never seen a rack that shape in my area before. The 22" spread made him look very impressive coming through the woods!

Very nice! What an awesome buck!

That's great! Congrats, BSK! Great deer and it is so fun when you put a deer down you have been after!

Awesome, congrats!

5.5 this year? Was his rack smaller, larger, or same size as last year?

It seems I saw where you mentioned that y'all either kill bucks the first week of ML or not at all. Is he an outlier or have you been seeing more bucks this year than in the past?
