Moosedog Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 After seeing some of the great trail camera photos everyone has gotten this year, I thought I'd post some of my favorites up as well. I hunted these guys pretty hard but they outsmarted me. Had the velvet buck at 30 yards once but had already decided to let him grow one more year by then. He should be something special if he survived the season. I only got this one picture of this buck. Yes, that's an extra main beam on his left side. I also only got this one photo of this buck. It's a poor picture but it still kind took my breath away. This camera is about 30 feet from a cabin we have on our property. There were 3 scrapes and 8 rubs in a little grove of pine trees. You can see some of them in the photo. This buck is my favorite. He has great mass and spread. I'd love to see which buck busted him up. This was my first year with trail cameras. They definitely added a great deal to my knowledge of where the bucks are on our property as well as the excitement of knowing what caliber of bucks are out there. I'm 37 years old and have been hunting for 25 years now and I probably learned more about deer hunting this year than any other. Hopefully next year I can get one of these big boys in range of the bow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Trail cameras are so much fun :) You have some great looking bucks on your land! Hopefully next year we will see some pics of you holding some of those big ol horns :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosedog Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 They are a blast, Toddy. Thanks about the bucks. I was surprised we had so many nice bucks around. There were about 6 more bucks that I got pictures of that were in the 2 1/2 year old range that should be very nice bucks this year. The one in velvet looks like a 2 1/2 year old and is carrying 11 points and has some potential to be really nice, I think. I really can't get enough of look at everyone's trail cam pictures.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Those cams are a blast...its like you cant wait to see what bucks showed up..Im still looking for a couple to see if they made it past season.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeWalker Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Moosedog, what are the possibilities that the 1st and 3rd pic are of the same buck ?!?!? Look close at where that "xtra main beam" comes off at, and the curl of that tine could be masked by the camera angle....something to think about.....

Moosedog Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You know, TreeWalker, I never even considered it. Here's a couple more pictures of the 1st buck. It looks like the G2 comes inward on more of a straight line to me. It also looks like the 1st buck has a narrower spread than the 3rd buck. I wish I had more pictures of the 3rd buck to make a better comparison. It's something to consider, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Those are definitely some great bucks! I cant tell for sure, but i dont think the first and third deer are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVdeerhunter Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Great bucks i think that buck1 and 3 are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
