What do you think of this one?
I just found this forum and thought I would post my recent find. I just got a Moutrie camera and put it out for the very first time on June 3rd. I let it sit for 2 weeks and picked it back up on the 18th. These were taken in Northwest Louisiana, in the piney hills. What do you guys think of him? The first picture was taken last fall and I don't think it is the same deer, that was taken by one of my buddies. The other 3 were taken within the last week.

RE: What do you think of this one?
I think he is pushing 150 now and will top 160+ by fall. Our rut runs the first of Novemeber, that may have something to do with his development. I knew there was a big boy around there but, I wasn't counting on it being this big. We have been strictly manageing our lease for the last 4-5 years and it has really paid off. I haven't killed a buck in 6 years but, I take 3-5 does off my areas every year. I have seen several bucks over the last few years that most people would shoot, but I believe it management. If I need meat I take a doe. Can't eat horns, and if they aren't big enough to mount then why shoot them?
