Wish I had a nice buck pic to share, but still waiting for a nice one to show post-velvet... so instead sharing a snapshot pull from a video I got of a black coyote.

Happy it captured the eyes fairly well, as the contrast between the yellow eyes and black fur always strike me as a bit creepy.

I know this doesn't compare to the bucks everyone else sees, but keep in mind that I only own 5 acres, with only 1.5 acres accessible to deer.

I’m a strong proponent of only shooting the best deer your area has. If that’s a fork horn....”shoot it”
Nothing wrong with that guy at all. Especially on 5 acres!

It’s your turn for a harvest pic!

This is the Freak (on the right) and the Wide "8". The Freak is a 6.5 year buck that I have watched for 5 years with his very distinctive wide left side and 14" right palmated side. He has a double chest white patch. At this time of year we start calling him Fat Albert. He is probably pushing 300-325 lbs weight and is still bulking up. He calls our place home and is definetly the Monarch of the bunch. When he walks into a crowd I have seen 2.5 & 3.5 years move away pretty quickly.

To give some perspective, the wide 8 pt on the left is a 4.5 year old and his rack is approaching 20" wide. Saw him this past weekend just out of bow range and he is a big deer also.

I see the 2 together hanging out a lot and are currently enjoying the bean field, but are soon to be competing for the ladies.

That is a doe behind him for perspective ...

Heres a cool picture

Or if you like does

buckdeer1, which model camera is that? How are the night pictures? I have the Trek and am not impressed with the night time shots at all. It is about the same as my 10 year old Attach.

I have been in contact with them and will be sending them a sampling of my pictures after the season is over. I did have to flash my old Attach and that fixed poor night shots.

 

[buckdeer1]

I don't remember for sure it was their cheapest one.My first just quit taking pictures.The camera I have been buying is the moultrie 50 the moultrie pic above is from I believe and 880.I wasn't impressed with night or early morning pics from the exodus either.This little mowed out area of corn field is where my daughter shot a buck that was at least 5.5 a couple weeks ago with a ML.I now have a redneck gillie on a hay trailer set up and this will be where I decoy in a couple weeks.I left just enough standing corn they will have to come look.I have since broadcasted wheat in it

This is just too cool the way they are perfectly centered in the frame of the trail cam.
