And then by the next summer we found out he was still around, because we started getting pics of him in July. His distinctive "splayed" rack was unmistakable and easy to recognize.

Still I'll admit a little disappointment with a rack nearly identical to his last one, and still a 9-pointer. Maybe slightly heavier at the bases.



His right g2 looked somewhat odd, and later in the velvet stage I noticed it got darker in color. I think it may have been damaged somehow, while still growing.
