put cams out in ny last weekend on a few trails, one had a giant track so hopefully in a few weeks ill have a decent buck on camera. ohio36hunter, that buck with the messed up left side would be on the top of my hit list!
Had this guy on camera this past check, picture is on 6/3, just cut it off when zooming in a bit. Watched him with a bachelor group in an alfalfa field Friday night. He is one big deer, not sure he'll be a mega giant racked deer, but I think he's definitely mature. Was with 5 other bucks the other night. Looking forward to future camera checks.
Probably the easiest thing to do is underestimate a buck's age in spring. By October this deer will likely be 50lbs heavier and the same people that guessed age in May will add 2+ years to their previous guess. Each one of these bucks would appear to be "less-than-impressive" in May. Based on this deer's body structure and progression so far, already showing a 4x4 frame, if I had to give an educated guess on what he'd be I'd think he's tracking to be a mid 150's 5x5...time will tell.
I understand! And sometimes still question my sanity. It was just one of those years, that property had 4 deer between 150 and 185. And was hunting two other deer that were over 170.... Got greedy. sad thing is we found him dead in 2012 anyways from ehd
After seeing some of these bucks I don't even want to post my videos lol I thought mine were doing good for KY by just starting to show brow tines on their main beams. Not a lot of good protein for them around my place
He is back, I was a little concerned I had not seen him in about 2 weeks. Funny he is traveling with 3 small bucks and he comes in after things look cool. Cannot believe he already has a huge split brow tine.
Here's all I've got so far, only had them out for a week.
