Glad he made it. I know the feeling and am checking my cams for one that I missed seeing by one afternoon.  He was 20 yds in front of my stand the next afternoon while I was on the tractor.  I know he knew I was there.

Very nice buck!

Don't mean to burst a bubble here, but how do you know for sure that those sheds aren't from last spring?

Well, for one thing, those sheds weren't there last June thru December.  I know that for sure because I am intimately familar with the travel route they were found on and it would have been impossible to not have seen them.  The two sides were found 50-100 yards apart in the timber.  It is not unusual to see 6 or 8 squirrels at the same time while sitting in that area.  The squirrels are both the fox (red) and grays and I too, am amazed at the amount of damage they did in such a short time.

Awesome buck!! Good luck.
