G2 buck finally shed!

I have been following a buck for 2 years. He is in an urban area, where I can hunt, but few others can. I will get the chance to really learn as a buck reaches maturity, then hopefully is harvested by ME! Last year as a 2 1/2 year old he was inside his ears and pencil thin. He is a 5X5 main frame and both of his G2s fork. I was guessing him around 100" last year plus the forks, that may have been a little long, but close. This year I had him under my stand atleast a dozen times. I am in his core area, and he would have been easy to harvest this past season. I have had cameras out in this area, and he is fairly photogenic. The entire herd in this area still have their antlers, a couple of yearlings dropped one side, but they are still holding tuff! On Feb 26th G2 showed up and had both sides. He broke off the brow tine on his right anler and he broke the right side fork off in November, but the blading is still visible.
G2 was back on Feb 27, this time light his larger left side! We got 2" of snow again last night, so looking for his shed today was worthless. I will be back Monday afternoon with renewed vigor, I will keep you updated!
I doubt he will be a shooter next year, but we will watch and find out together.
