I have posted about Tripod on here before... Had one close call with him last year, but a bear intervened at the moment of truth. Cool buck and I am fairly certain I have him from 2011 as an estimated 2 year old with same leg injury, and you will see how is rack mutated as he aged.. No idea what he will be this year, but I assume a huge fork on one side, and a corkscrew on the other. This year, should mark his 6th birthday (give or take one year). He walks on 3, runs on 4... Just the coolest buck ever - will never score, but man what a SURVIVOR... Two brutal winters in a row, deep snow heavy ice bitter cold - and major coyotes to boot. Not to mention how he evades me, and all the trespassing deer drivers....

The only thing that I still question (just a little) is if 2011/12 are the same buck as 2013, 14, and now 15? I really think so.

I will post some in chronological order... This is really all I have from 2011 in this post - never gave him much thought back then... Didn't even realize he was same buck until late 2013 when I stumbled across these pics...
