2019 Trail Cam

last post is hilarious.    finally some day light pics.. wish I checked this cam before the season.

When the deer find your "hidden" camera (not my pic).

Thanks guys, I actually saw him on Friday night. Never came closer than 100 yards but very cool to see. Early Retirement - he's only got 9 points, not a 10. Let's just hope I can lay my hands on him at some point to get an official reading... haha. Good luck everyone!

Edit: 9 + the kicker.. sorry. 

Fulldraw- I'd guess that buck grosses around 147".  Good luck!

hard to tell with the pic..   is there only four on the right and 6 on the left?  If there is 5 on the right 152.... otherwise 145 should be close...... like you said.. shoot him either way, then score it and let us know.     youth hunt and a cold have me on this damn computer and not in a tree. 

I also agree, 145" is pretty close. If he had the symetrical 10th point on the right side i would say low 150's. I think it is probably a 4.5 yr old though. 

I noticed that, i tried fixing the size but was unable to. Thanks for your input!

Fulldraw-  The pic shows up pretty small so it's kind of hard to judge accurately, but from what I can tell I'd say your 145" guess is pretty accurate.  As for age I'd lean 4.5 or more.  He has a big body and some sag.

I'm not trying to be that guy, or start any arguments. Just generally curious as to what some opinions are on this deer - he's showing up pretty regularly and haven't seen him on the hoof yet. This type of rack is probably a #1 hitlister of all time for me. What do you think he'd score / age is? Not that it will make a difference if i would let one fly or not, lol, like i said -- just looking to get some opinions. 

I have looked at it a bunch, and he's got a decent size belly area but a part of me thinks this is a stud of a 3.5 YO, 145" is my thought? Thanks!

I don't think you missed the acorn phase, its just getting going.  This is the best red oak/black oak acorn years in southern Adams for a while.  The bucks are all over the acorns right now.

Good luck to all.

finding two many of the one in the middle and not enough of the ones on the side... looking forward to some time off work....missed the acorn phase

Nice 8

Here are a couple of nice public land bucks I'll be after.

A few of my better bucks. Just got to checking cams this weekend. Was pleasantly surprised. 

That looks like a mountain lion or wolf to me, possibly a cross between the two.
