Last year, we had seen this buck and got some pictures of him on the trail camera. He was impressive then. We were confident with another year of growth he would be a monster.
That was definitely the case. It seems that, while in early antler development in velvet some type of trauma caused this disruption in the growth of his left side. He certainly made an impression when we saw this picture of him on the trail camera this year.
"Droopy" he was dubbed and categorized as definitely a shooter. When Ernest arrived the day before, the buck was rutting hard and several miles from where he had been living. By the next morning, he had moved again and was intent on a doe. Ernest was able to shoot him from about 150 yards.
He measured 187 4/8" making him the largest whitetail harvested off the ranch.
