Isnt it amazing how these OLD mature deer just show up out of nowhere. We have been watching this 8 for about 3 or 4 years now. He is certainly the most mature deer I have ever hunted. He has to be at least 8.5 years old if not older. I haven’t seen this deer all summer. In fact, the last time I saw him was after the season was over last year on a trail cam photo. I got only TWO pictures of him that summer before that. He certainly isn’t the biggest racked deer (anymore) but he is a deer that I would be truly happy to take. What an illusive beast!
Here are some of the pictures I have got of him in the past. Ty actually videoed him three years ago when I believe he was in his prime and 4.5 or 5.5.
Look at the body on this dude!

The Grey Ghost!!! This guy is just messin’ with you man. My prediction… last day of season, last light, he stands JUST out of range and gives you a look like,
” yeah, I’ll be around next year. Maybe wash your cloths next time!”

That will make a good story once he finally falls to an arrow. By the time we shoot him, he will probably be a spike again. 325lb spike.
