Another thing is I am sure there are more that you haven't saw yet. A deers summer range is very small and it sounds like your area consists of 400-500 acres...... There is no telling what all hangs out on the back side by the farmers fields this time of year.

RE: My buddy is progressing, nicely......
 

If they're two different ones....what a "problem".

I knew I had a few 3.5 and older deer.....but unless the less progressed one is the one I saw last year with a broken off right side....I've never seen him, before (on the hoof or on cam).

I don't dispute your assessment, either. There are likely deer there....I've never seen. I saw plenty last year I never got on camera (small bucks). Stands to reason it could go the other way as well.

Good luck...and thanks for your opinions.
