Here's my best 5 (first 2 pics are same deer). My 6-10 would all be 3 yr old 8pts that look the same.

1st and 4th buck are actually the same buck. He was ancient by local standards, I believe he was 6.5 when killed. Nope I havent killed any of them. Somehow my "neighbors" always kill them before I do.

You folks have some really nice ones. What states did you say you had your camera's out in? And, anyone save that old forum post that tells you how to tell where the photo was taken based upon location services :). Serious note, they are all darn nice. For some reason, I just don't hardly every save any trail cam photos. I have a couple friends that made fancy photo shop coffee table books of their photos over several years, and those are nice but hard to make that if you don't save any.

My first year off to college, I came back and hunted a stand I hung the weekend before, this cam was 15 yards from my tree, I checked this camera after my morning hunt on October 28th, 24 hours too late. He got shot a few weeks later by a 15 year old kid wearing skating shoes. He scored 229"

Two down sides to trail cameras, when they show you where you should have been hunting on another day! Second when you run your pre season scouting survey and realize you have nothing worth getting excited about, then it become 2 long months of archery season hoping the rut will bring a big deer into your area.

We have harvested one of them, 3 of them for sure are still around. The one with the great mass left that year in mid September never to be seen again, which was a huge let down. I really wanted that deer bad. I am not sure if I would have shot him or not that year though. He has a great rack but looked like a very young deer. I saw him twice on the hoof, but never close enough that I had to make a decision.
Great pics so far guys!!! Keep them coming.

Plottin those are great bucks. I love the drop tine bucks, well and every other one too. At my place, I can only recall one buck with drop tines. I think he was poached as a 3 year old. I have seen some in the county, but not many. I don't want to know your area, but are drop tines common there. For example, we don't have drops, but have tons of bucks with double brow tines.

Two of those drops were on a farm I leased a few years back. On our farm we had at least one drop every year but not always a big buck. Last year I saw a small one but it was hard to tell if it was a true drop or an injury in velvet. It seems after earn-a-buck took us to only a few does left 5 or 6 years ago our genetics took a beat down. We had couple old wide short tine bucks then and it seems like my old bucks just don't get as big with crazy character like they used to. I still get some good ones from time to time but before my 5 or 6 year old deer were usually big. Now we are back to huge deer numbers so hopefully things change.
