This is an old buck I’ve never seen except by camera. The first image is in August. The last is November.
Looks like his roaming has made him lose some belly.

Getting worn down!!!!!!!
This is what he looked like in October of 2022. I think he may be going downhill overall.

Good luck old man. And I mean that to him and all of us folks carrying some years and more than a few battle scars so to speak. Been a good season and while we are somewhere between the early fall and late winter of life we ain't done yet.
Do NOT go gentle into that good night

That’s the type of buck that gets me going personally.
Horns are cool and all, but catching a 5+ YO buck (or doe) slipping up is the “Chess Match” I prefer.
Talk about a challenge, and plenty of meat if you’re able to connect with one.

The old buck at Christmas
I said in the OP that I had never seen the old warrior. I saw a large body buck one morning in early December before it was light enough to see well. I was hunting in his home territory. I think it was him. I didn’t take the shot.

He looks like a different deer body wise. Old buck for sure.
