Default Bucks are sprouting horns in PA - Leaf River Pics

Nothing special, but they are growing horns.








I finally was able to fill the feeder this weekend since turkey season is over so I should be able to get lots more pics and take inventory of whats left over from last season.

I am pretty sure the last 2 bucks are the same ones and about 12 months old right now, but that top buck, how old do you guys think he is? Last season I had a 13"-14" wide 7 point yearling that frequented this shelf, I am wondering if this might be him as a 2 year old? Below is a pic what I *think* might be him last year.

The last day of turkey season I had a nice buck standing about 15 yards away from me for about 10 minutes. He had about 6 inches of growth on him! I cant wait for July and August to roll around to really see what is out there!

Exciting to watch, that's for sure. That's what is so cool about trail cameras. You get to see stuff you wouldn't normally.

It was strange here this year. I saw bucks w/ horns all the way through March, but they're growing them now! I love it!

I saw a buck with some dandy, velvet bases three weeks ago in my neck of the woods. He should be a bruiser come archery season. I have some spots picked out for the game cams and plan on putting mine out starting next week. Hopefully something unexpected shows up.

Rick,

Nice pics. What Leaf River model are your using? PM me any feedback you have on it. I am interested in the IR model.
