Recent Trail Cam Buck Pic
 

At first I thought this was a typical 8-pointer. Then I see what looks like a inch or so long drop tine. Then, I look closer, and see what looks like some funky antler growing down and out with some dead velvet on it. What do you guys see?

looks like something funky on the left side

By funky he means potentially excellent

I hope so. He looks like a youngster. 2.5yo, I'm guessing. This is in my backyard in the suburbs so he's got light hunting pressure.

Well, on the left side there appears to be a nub(possibly a droptine)
but I think it might be the tip of his left main beam.As for the fuzzy thing, it looks more like a shadow form that post it's next to.It's hard to tell w/night pic's.

I agree. looks like what you think is a drop with velvet is really a piece or reflection off that stump imo.

agreed with above

I thought of that possibility. So I looked at the other 58 pictures I got overnight in that location and none of them had the same things. I'm trying to get another shot of that sucker from another angle and find out for sure.

The thing I think is a small drop tine is white. Not part of the velvet covered thing hanging down from the front of the main beam. Perhaps sticker would be a better term.

It's hard to tell man. Hope you get another pic of him.

great lookin deer

Pulled the camera after a two day sit and just had a couple of young 6-points. One had a split brow which is pretty unusual for a 1.5yo deer. At least I think it is.

Put the camera back out and will leave it out over Labor Day weekend. We're heading out of town and taking the dogs with us. That should increase trail cam activity.:)
