GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

I only had a couple that were of interest....out of 141, this past week.

I had JUST told the story about the deer I saw last year with the good left side and the "funky" right side in the "Mature bucks" thread. Could this be him? I have no idea.....but it would make sense (I have no experience in these matters).

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

And....for those that question how (in ONE manner) I age deer (here...with HERE being the caveat).....this is a "typical" 1.5yr old in MY woods.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

JEff that would probably be a 100 incher if he had two good sides nice deer even though

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Cool lookin buck- He may have been injured at one time.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

You think the first buck is about 3-4?

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Cougs...

To get to that type mass, here (and "that type" is relative to "here")....yes. Little sway in his back, too....

"I" would age this deer @ 3.5 or older in MY woods.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Jeff that spike has a little indentation right in the boiler maker:D

The older buck is a shooter for sure!!

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

That's what I would age him at too.


Would you let this deer walk this year? If you said he had junk sides last year, and it is genetic, is that something you want breeding? Of course this is all speculation that this deer is the same one you saw last year.

I hear ya, Germ. It's trips to the trail cam like this that make me look forward to hunting. My bow shop owner has seen a couple of deer he says are shooters, too (He lives on my road and watches the same bean fields I do). I'm doe hunting....but I'd shoot this deer for sure.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Couldn't this also be the same deer......but with a possible injury over the winter/spring?

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Good Lookin Jeff, Yep same buck

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

They are some nice pics you got there.

Very well could be. Hard to say. If not you may have two nice bucks running around.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

If this is the same buck......you can't believe what a transformation his body goes through between now and mid November. The one in the 7/25/06 photo is the buck I call "the bull". He looks like a racehorse when he's under your stand.

Look at him, here, beside another pretty good buck (for my woods). Look at the difference in their bodies.

This photo was taken exactly one year ago, today.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Nice pics GMMAT. Amazing how locations differ. I have very few spikes. Most ofthe 1.5 year olds that Isaw last year were forks or 6's. Although that could change because I had a bumper crop of fawns last year and haven't retrieve pics yet. I really need to up the doe that are taken from the property this year. Good luck this year and may a big one walk by.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Those are some nice pics. I need a new camera.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Im sure he is impressive looking in the rut. He looks good in the pic.I would say that is the differance a year or two makes in a deer.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

GMMAT if you need any help this year I only live a few hours away ;)

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Cougs...

No hard feelings (on either of our parts).....but would you come down here on a Saturday to shoot ONLY does?

;)

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

LOL..



That would depend if I'm having any luck up here. I wouldn't want to shoot "your" bucks anyway.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

No hard feelings, Cougs. I don't know you that well.....and I'm just not ready for an "OH $&^%" scenario.:D;)

We'll talk.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

that's fine bro, was kinda joking with ya a bit. Don't worry I'll get my opportunity up here no doubt.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Jeff, that's a good looking deer with a lot of growing season yet, it'll be interesting how he finishes.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

I can't tell you all how much of a bruiser this guy is compared to other "deer" here.

I don't get to see bodies like this on "deer" very often. THIS is what excites me about this guy.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

size of the deer is like our "big" blacktails...lol.....most confuse our deer with a "beagle" or "poodle"....every now and then we get some that are as big as a "bull dog"...LOL

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

nice pics

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Jeff that guy is a HOG! He's got alot of weight on him.

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

Shoot 'em, good luck

RE: GMMAT Trail cam photos
 

cool pics Jeff!! good luck with them when the time comes.
