06/25/08 The King Is Back

[samh]

For some of ya'll that haven't seen "IT" before, I've been get'n pictures of this deer for 4 years, he never sheds his antlers or even the velvet. In 4 years the rack has not changed at all, although the body has grown a bunch. I get pictures of him year round, a couple of 100yds from my house, but in the 4 years he has never been seen in person, only on carera, except once about 3 weeks ago when my son-in-law finally saw him in the middle of the day between our houses. A tornado came through here on may 2nd and really wreaked a lot of the farm. Haven't had a picture of "IT" since the tornado on May 2nd. Well he showed up last night and surprise, surprise, for the first time in 4 years of get'n pictures of him his rack has changed, IT has added about 4 to 5 inches of antler to each side. Don't have a clue as to why after 4 years he starts to add some now, but that's what makes "IT" interest'n.

Yay! "It's" back!! Yep, he's kind of a mascot on here; been wondering where he was. Wouldn't it be something if he ended up growing a decent rack on top of that little crown?? Glad he made it through the storm. And really happy to have pictures on here again.! Thanks, Sam!
