First Decent Buck on the HC600
Thanks Todd. Here is the best buck I have pics of. I am guessing a 3 1/2 year old and probably in the mid 120's, Do think that is a reasonable assessment? Anyway I love this camera and want to thank Todd and Pastor Jim personally for helping me out. I did notice something very interesting about this buck and this pic. Camera was out 8 days. I got a total of 1917 pics. Most were of a stupid branch i missed blowing in the breeze all day. However, of all the other deer and Coyotes and pics I have this is the only deer that looked toward the camera. It is also the only pic of this buck that I have. It really does seem that more mature deer pic up on changes to their surrounding then younger deer. Anyway let me know what you think.

Nice buck! Looks like a tiny body next to that super tall corn. I'm with you, 125" or so. as for the changes to surroundings, I think you're right on, those mature deer notice first. Also, before the cam was out, hard to guess how many times he has taken that exact route, just like you walking into your house every day, you will notice something new.

Great buck! My guess would be 3.5 and a solid 130. By the way, don't regret the money you spent on the Reconyx. I guarantee it will be taking great pictures long after the other brands have quit working.
