Nothwest Ohio deer pics (suprising)
 

Put my trail cam out a couple weeks ago on some new property on a creek bed that looked like a cattle pasture. Not suprisingly - lots of deer period. But these two fellas caught my eye. This nine pt. is in an area i thought was a pretty good transition spot so when i was done for the night approx. 7:00-7:10 i put my camera on this tree. This guy almost had to be watchin me across the bean field loadin up!(notice the pic time is 7:20 something)my stand i just hung in this new spot is behind him about 20 ft. ! So apparently the scent regimate is working cause i was all over that area hes standing only minutes prior ? he doesnt seem spooked to me ( i hope) What would you guess the 9 scores ?

The 10 pt looks to be 5 1/2 yrs + ( my novice eyes would say and the 9 pt. 2 1/2 ?

He's not going to have a high score. I would suggest to let him go at least another year, but that's how I would do it. I hunt in the northeastern part of Ohio. Got alot of bucks that big or a little smaller and a little bigger. We let them walk, and my dad and I know of at least 8 shooter bucks. All 135 and up. Hopefully we get a crack at one this year. Rut's right around the corner.

I'd let him walk and wait another year. Easier said than done, but he will be better next year. Good luck.
