“These photos were taken July 12, 2021 in Pike County, Arkansas, in a transition area between a six-year-old pine-growth thicket and a creek, not far from a highway, and I’ve also included a photo of the same buck from last year,” Thompson wrote.
“This buck made a quick pass-through of our Pike County hunting area just one time last year that we know of,” Thompson continued. “I have included the best photo I have of him from last year; it was taken Nov. 12 (see image above), and he never reappeared for the rest of the season. I thought he was long gone.
“Last year I figured this buck was an outsider looking to move in on some local does, however, as you can see, he is back and bigger than ever! From what I can tell, he is now sporting 13, maybe 14 points. This buck has awesome character for our area, and check out that crazy left brow tine! I hope to harvest this buck during archery season, before the rut is in full swing.”
