I didn't post any photos on the cam forum yet. I bought a new Reconyx HC600 this spring and I'm getting 1,000s of pictures, so its hard to pick and choose what one to post. According to the DNR the deer are over populated where we are, and are giving away anterless tags. However, last year my buck to antlerless ratio during the season was close to 4:1. On my trail camera all spring/summer, the buck to antlerless ratio was close to 6:1. I wish I could say all of those bucks are mature deer, but they are not. Of the 15 bucks I saw on cam this year, only 2-3 are mature deer. The rest are 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 year olds.
