Been watching this old guy for a couple years now and this fall he finally gave up the ghost,probably within a week of taking this photo but I couldn`t find him till a few weeks ago.I found the complete horns and head and his teeth are worn right off.I`m guessing he is pushing 14yrs.-15?The pic is from Nov. 30,this past fall.He took a terrible beating from a 170,ish 4 pnt. a week before.He was blind in both eyes after that.I would have put him down but I figured the bullshit would be too much.He was one of the Kimberly town bucks.You should see some of his sons and grandsons!

Hey Sawmill

Cool story. People talk about mossy horn bucks but that deer is truely regressing in the horn dept. He looks like a old stuffed deer mount.
A oldtimer was telling me the story of his biggest buck, it was a spike. 12" spikes on a blacktail would look kinda wierd.
Great story again.

I'm not sure even burger would have been the answer with that oldtimer.
