Trail cam pics vs. Trophy pics...who has them?
I just purchased my very first trail cam a week ago. Its the Stealth I450. It is sitting out in the woods (hopefully) doing it's job as we speak.
Anyway, I have read on here numerous times where a hunter had already seen their trophy on their cam before actually seeing it and touching it...in person. Okay, you see this nice buck on your cam and make it your goal to hold him by the antlers by the end of season. You might change your game up a little bit or hunt a tad harder to reach that goal. Whatever the case, you did it and have proof. I wanna see it.
I want to see trail cam pics vs. "harvest" pics. Note that I said "him" and "antlers" above. Well, of course, bucks are easier to distinguish than a doe; so thats why.
BUT whatever, if you have pics of anything you caught on your trail cam and also a pic of the same animal in your hands or on the ground...I would love to see it.

I'd do anything to catch this guy on camera this year and have before and after. I saw him about 2 weeks ago out in the field and hes a BRUTE this year.

Ok its a muzzle loader kill 
I missed him by one day, hunted him in bow season, never to be seen. killed him the first day of firearm season at 40 yards. passed five other bucks on a hot does trail, then he stepped out of a nasty thicket. not a bow kill but im still proud.
pic was taken before i knew how to take better ones.
