[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2450971, member: 116181"] I didn't get good pictures of the big guy this year, but this was the little guy. Looked to be 2.5 but his teeth were pretty beat up. Ranch owner requested I make him permanently go bye-bye because he was a slick 5 with no brow tines. Made a good hat rack for my sons. Meat quality was 10/10, the backstraps barely made it off the ranch. [ATTACH type="full" alt="lil guy.jpg"]343159[/ATTACH] So it's my understanding that the lack of brow tines is both an inheritable trait and closely related to spike antlers. So it makes sense to me that the rancher wanted the animal culled from a management perspective, even though in my county (very far from this ranch) this would be un-shootable buck due to narrow spread.
