Rhino Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Overall, I think the heat wave & dry conditions caused our picture count to drop off. Didn't get any new mature bucks show up for the cams on this run but got some updates on some posted in past threads. This old buck decided to roam a little bit more than he had. Got him on 3 cams on 9/3 & 9/4. Closer pics this time. Although I'd like to hold out for a mature 10 point or better, there's no way I'll give this great 8 a pass. In these pics he's ~15 yards from one of my stands. This 10 point disappeared after 7/21. Finally caught him again. Also, I glassed him in hard horn in a bean field last week the afternoon I arrived. Looks better on the hoof than in the pics. 1st time for this buck. I think we need to give him 1 more year. Posted pics of this young buck with great potential in my other threads. Here he is in hard horn now. Great potential for the future. This 3.5 year old buck gets another year too. He's about to shed velvet. A few more youngsters with good potential.

wtnhunt Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Most your skippers would be shooters in most places for many hunters Al. That 8 is an awesome deer. Look forward to seeing which one ends up in front of you first, or if you get a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 IMHO the big 8 would share top honors on my hit list along with the high/narrow sticker buck. They are very, very nice bucks. And if they were standing side by side begging for an arrow, I'd run the big 8 first. An 8 like that commands respect.
