new spot that I'll be sitting...
#12

wow that 3rd buck is a complete hoss! huge body on him he is definitely older than 4.5. I also think the freak buck would be an awesome one to take and he is probably 4.5. I would not hesitate at all to walk even 3 miles into this spot, let alone 30 minutes! good luck going after these bucks

i've sat there 3 times now and have only seen 1 deer (long ways off at dark)
I also checked the camera again this weekend. Still have the goofy one and the 3rd buck coming in pretty regularly at 2 am ish. Hopefully the cooler weather & moon change will spark some daytime activity.

Here are a few more pics... this buck #3 really is a BRUTE! He always seems to look pissed off in his pics.
The spindly 8pt just showed up on this camera for the first time. Young deer but has some potential.
Enjoy!

I'm hoping that they'll start moving more during daylight hours with the rut kicking in & the moon phase changing. I plan to sit most of the day sat & sun... depends what my wife plans to do.
Buddy of mine said he saw a 190s chasing a doe already last weekend. He'd know it's 190s because he shot a 187" last year and said this was easily as big... if not bigger.
If I get any daytime pics, I'll be sure to post them.
