I just got back from pulling the cards on a couple more of my trail cams....and yes I forgot to set the time stamp again......but it don't really matter now......forgot all of those other deer I've posted in the last week..................THIS is the buck I am gonna hunt 24/7 come 9/1

I'm still sitting here in total disbelief that I got a buck of this caliber on one of my cameras......I mean really, it's not like I live in Kansas or Iowa, etc.....I called the wife on here cell immediately, and told here how with each photo I opened, my jaw got closer to the floor...........

This is a recent mineral lick I set up on a trail that leads to and from a nice creek and corn fields........there were 55 pics on that one camera in a weeks time....9 of them were of him.......looks like so far he's coming in right at last light.

I've known about this buck for three years, but had no idea he had grown to this magnitude.........I passed a shot on him opening day of rifle season two years ago.....a 300 yard standing broadside shot....because I was confident I would get a closer shot before season ended.........I never saw him after that.........saw him twice last year through a spotitng scope........always in this area.......but I was SOOooooo busy trying to fill my tag on that "Big-8", that I always thought I would get a crack at him with my rifle.......greedy is what I was.......

Well I'm kinda glad I wasted all of those opportunities on him, because look at him now......one thing is for sure......I ain't gonna wait till rifle season this time around, LOL

I would guess that's a 170s class deer. Not that you need to take the time to evaluate him. He says "SHOOTER!" all over smile.gif

That's been my thoughts too....this buck has got to go at least 170 gross........I guessed him last year at a mid 150's when I watched him through a spotting scope............no matter, he was a shooter when he was a 140 class deer two years ago..... wink.gif

Re: NEED ADVICE......is this a shooter ??

I recently received a PM....not from anybody that replied...about how I am mocking those that will never see a buck like this and how my title of this topic could be condescending towards others.....

If this is the case, I apologize.......I know most of you know that I was simply joking with the title, just to peak some curiosity to boot.......it's a no brainer it's a shooter.....a once in a lifetime buck.....once in many lifetimes in my book.......I never in my life ever anticipated seeing a buck even close to this caliber, and even if I never get a crack at him, I feel more than blessed to have caught him on film..........

Nobody appreciates God's creations such as this, more than I do..........thanks for all the kind responses, and I'll keep you posted if I get any more pics of him......and I promise to start setting those date stamps....LOL grin.gif
