He didn't get that big by being stupid. Keep his mind off the ladies and he will be there next year

Yep, if he makes it through both periods of the rut... and kicks into survival mode... he just might make it.
Based on your observations, I would say his odds are 60% against him making it through the rutting periods.
I agree, he certainly has some trophy potential over the next years... if he can see his way clear.
Perhaps he'll learn a couple of (non-fatal) hunting lessons between now and then.

Takes money to keep those feeders filled with feed to help that deer reach his potential

Make it a new challenge. Kill that buck with a recurve and it will be a trophy this year.

I actually caught a real big buck in pig trap one time , let me tell you this , it was an ordeal for both of us beyond comparison .
Letting him go was almost impossible , he wanted to get out bad and he also wanted to gore me real bad .
his strength was rather impressive and his will to take me out much the same .
we both eventually went on our way and I saw him a week or so later with some does .
wasn't something I want to do again for sure .

Watched a video yesterday on a fella releasing a bear he had caught in a wolf trap. Seeing that ordeal made me glad I was on my side of the screen. Talking about pucker factor

every buck with a good solid rack except for maybe 2 are never seen on our place after the year we see them .
2 have made it for 2 years and now both of them have gone missing as well .
this guy was a nice 9 last year and this is his second year with a decent rack .
sad to say it is likely his last , its me against the local yeehaws and them out of town one bag of corn visitors I tell ya ....
nobody in them parts cept me ,cares about growing racks for sure
