Default Is it time in the midwest???

Hey fellas, I have seen a few racks growing out on my farm a couple weeks ago, but they were just about 4 inches worth of base, not enough to really geta good grasp on their potential.

I am wondering if it is time to get the trail cams out yet in the midwest??? I am considering either this next weekend or in a couple weeks yet.

Any recent pics of what stage they are in??? What do you think??

I've had my cameras out since MAy 10. On the 15th i got a picture of a buck that made it through last season (I know it's him because of his messed up lower jaw bone). So far I've gotten 17 different bucks oncamera and they definitely have enough growth to distinguish a shooter. I say put the cams out ASAP. Here's a pic of "Jordan" last year.

Here's what he looked like on May 15th. Keep in mind this is PA...they probably have a lot more growth in the Midwest.

I will put a single camera out on Friday. I will check it in about two weeks and see what I am and getting and then start getting the rest of them out. Jordon looks like he is going to have some good mass this year. Good luck getting on him this fall.
