Couple nice bucks still alive
 

Just got my trail cams back out to see whats out there for late season with the bow and got 2 of the bucks on cam that ive watched all last year and this year. I also know of a big 8 that is still alive and another nice 8 as well, hopefully ill get them on cam too soon

the first one is a buck we call "ghost" because he is the smartest deer ive ever watched from stand and always knows what to do to live. i passed him up last year as an 8 point and we have his sheds from both of the past 2 years. he is now a 4 year old mainframe 10 with a kicker off his g2. Here he is the other night


Then the second buck was a 7 point last year, and i got him on cam all summer. he had a great year of growth and was a mainframe 10 with kickers off his brows. i saw him once during archery season and got him on camera at the beginning of rifle and he showed up again now. he broke up his left side and is now a 8 pointer. he is only a 3 year old and i didnt really wanna shoot him but now that he is broke up he is definitely off limits till next year.
Him earlier in velvet


and him now

Dang that last buck looks like a red deer, shape of his head anyway.

Hey awesome pics, things are looking good for you for next season!!!

Man that second pic looks like a painting. Good looking bucks.

that last deer looks rough

Great pics and bucks. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics.
That last one looks like hes going down hill.

the last one is only a 3 year old for sure and is actually in very good shape. i am guessing he looks like that because of the cold, if you notice it says 12 degrees and his hair was all fluffed up to help him stay warm. i have other pictures of him where he looks fine and i saw him in person this week and he is healthy but definitely lost some weight from the rut. he was in a lot worse shape last year and ended up going from around a 70 inch small racked 7 pointer to a 12 pointer this year so i am hoping he makes another big jump to next year

With his velvet off and his kneck swollen up from the rut he looks like a much older/bigger Buck! (The last Buck in your pic's)
