Well here is the story, Had seen this deer 4 years ago he was chasing the does in to the field. Doe ran in to woods and he stopped 40 yards from my stand and started to eat. Hit him in front left and he tumbled and tried to but plowed the ground and was done. Called my father in law and we loaded him up and went to my house to clean him with my kids and wife. A great end to a good evening

Wow! great buck now was the trail cam pic when he was smaller? What bullet did you use?

[jtcmedic]

Yep trail pic from 4 years ago (I think) I use a scorpion pt gold 300gr 50 cal sabot with blackhorn 209

Thanks for the added info!
That's really interesting, looking at the rack 4 years ago, even then it was weird on the right side. Just goes to show what 4 years will do for a deer from a spike on the left to a nice rack on that side. I've always heard that an injury on the opposite side effects the formation, shape size, etc. of a rack. Was there any indication of any thing had gone on with his left side?
