A buck called "Allbrows"

[slimngrizzly]

(7/4/12 Update) Hes commin along pretty good! I like the palmation. Hes already got a developed G5 on his right. Hes got a good row of tines going if he can just keep eatin his Wheaties and going upward, hes going to turn out real nice!

Im going to try to get some better color pictures of him this weekend. These B&W drive me nuts!

I'm just going off what I see but I don't think this guy has 60 days of growing left. It seems like the older bucks pack on a lot of inches in May and June and then slow down in July and almost stop growing in Aug. Youngers bucks tend to start a little later (putting energy into their bodies) and still do some decent growing in July and early Aug.

There are plenty of deer that don't apply to these rules but I have seen to too many times to call it an accident. This buck looks like a stud already and I think he could put on an inch or two but at a much slower pace.

Id say he'll be done around the 10th of August or so, but I expect him to do a lot by then. He had nice 4's last year so im hoping he improves them and maybe even grows some nice 5's this year!!

[Bear55]

I hope he turns into a booner for you. Keep us posted, can't wait to see him with the velvet off.

Not by choice Work has kept me out of the woods! Maybe Next week!

After about 3 weeks, I can't take it anymore and have to go pull cards!

Plenty of growth left in that buck... main beams and tine length!

[slimngrizzly]

I seen a big buck in late June where I found a big shed this spring... I put a camera on an old mineral stump I have there a month ago and just checked it yesterday (which is WAY too long for me)!!! I had ZERO pics because my gosh-durn card wasn't formatted or something And of course the site was destroyed with big tracks everywhere! Ill get him yet!

[sticknstring]

I have a hunch I left one of my Bushnell's on setup mode last Friday when I checked cards... not a good feeling!

[slimngrizzly]

I got a cool little video of him too... I wish I knew how to put those on here.

His 3rd and 4th mass measurements make me wanna smile

[sticknstring]

He's looking good. Upload to youtube and copy the link. Very similar to one I had around last year.

[slimngrizzly]

I think that one you have there stick is signifigantly larger! Is he still around? That had to go upper 150's or better huh?

[sticknstring]

Haven't seen him yet. I had him right around 160".

Checked last night. I was right, although it was wasn't on setup mode. I forgot to put an SD card back in! Luckily, I only missed 6 days, rather than a full 3 weeks.

I figured I may as well finish what I started. I think some of you may appreciate the ending to the story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

By mid- July I saw how BIG "Allbrows" was getting and I didn't want to post too many more pics of him. I love sharing this stuff... but I do get a little hesitant on a public forum.

Anyways, it doesn't matter now because ALLBROWS IS DEAD! So to pay tribute to him I will at least let his monstrosity grace these pages!

Thanks everyone for enjoying him along with me!

Heres where I left off...

And FINALLY...

My neighbor got him on the morning of November 4th. A nicer, more deserving fella couldn't have shot him! Hes been a local landowner all his life. Hes in his late 50's or so and this is his first "wallhanger" so he was very proud!

Allbrows was an "average" size (maybe 190 lbs) 4 1/2 or 5 1/2 year old deer... we still arent 100% on his age? My buddy quickly rough scored him at 175 4/8 Gross! Hes a beautiful and amazing animal!!!

Happy hunting!

[james_walleye]

Awesome! Thx for sharing!

[Jeff13]

Wow that was a big deer, imagine if he would have made it through one more year! Nice story!

[dan z]

Not a whitetail hunter but your

passion for growing a trophy was a great read!

[lungdeflator]

great pics! pretty cool to be able to see him at the end too.

[Buckskin]

Thanks for letting us all in on your story,great pics too. Sure looks like a real trophy and it's respectable that your happy for your neighbor. Alot of guys would be mad that they didn't get it themselves, just reminds ya that they are wild animals and don't belong to anybody. Hope ya have another one growing to keep us entertained next year!

[Coach1310]

Thanks for sharing Slim. Kudos to you for being happy for the hunter who tagged him. Too many folks think they own the deer now a days and it is great to hear you are supportive of your neighbors good fortune. Hopefully he has plent of offspring in the gene pool.

Any chance you can fill a novice in on how you get such great pictures?? Your pictures are awesome.
