She told me to walk this wayyyyyyy

[Bill]

And my old friend got wider.

 

[MoBuckChaser]

Sweet, you better tie him up til the middle of sept!

 

[bueller]

Awesome buck!!

 

[Bill]

Hopefully I don't have to tie him up. He was quite regular last year. If he plays the same cards I'm going to try and get on him early.

Sounds good in theory:cool:

 

[huntall]

Dang good one!
good luck with him

 

[Jordan Selsor]

I like the trash on those bases! How old is your friend?

 

[Bill]

Thanks Huntall

I like the trash on those bases! How old is your friend?

I love the trash too. last year it added a total of 6 points. This is my third year of getting regular pics of him. The year he showed up, or more likely the year I took notice of him, he was at least 2.5. So he's 5 at a minimum.

He was out strutting last night

 

[Jordan Selsor]

Look at that trash can belly! He is well fed no doubt

 

[outdoorstom]

What a great buck! Hope you get a chance at him!

 

[Bill]

Thanks.

No new pics of him but I'm betting he is out in the beans everyday.

Last year he learned to walk around the cameras. But I have an out of the way vantage point to watch him from without disturbance. Heading out mid month. I'll get hand held photos if he's a regular.

 

[Bill]

He's still a regular.

Every few years I have a farm for sale run of summer bucks when trail cam photos would help the price.

It's starting to shape up to one of those summers. Too bad they won't all tolerate each other and stay for the fall.

Nice healthy 10 showed up last week.

This guy showed up this AM. Not much in the width area but he makes it up tine length.

Hey Bill, I hope the guy living in the house doesn't hunt. Or your buck may not last!

 

[Bill]

Hey Bill, I hope the guy living in the house doesn't hunt. Or your buck may not last!

Yea the guys in that house hunt hard sometimes "but" that's my house and based on my security cameras no one has been there since I left except the guy that mows my grass.

Kinda set the whole back yard up so the window on the second floor of that barn shows all the hidden plots.

My number one hard fast rule is no one ever goes past the barn to do anything but plant, spray or hunt. There is plenty of farm to frolic on, just not behind the barn.

It's a tough walk in during rifle season:)

 

[non-pro-archer]

Nice deer, I think getting cam pics is just as fun as hunting sometimes

 

[Bill]

Yep, I love this time of year. I get to see everything in the neighborhood that isn't going to walk by my stand.

 

[MN Slick]

Nice pics Bill. I can't wait to check my cams in MO the first weekend in August.

 

[non-pro-archer]

Yep, I love this time of year. I get to see everything in the neighborhood that isn't going to walk by my stand.

That how my farm seems to be, all summer I get buck pics then September gets here and they all turn into does

 

[Bill]

They don't all leave :). Some just have to find more space when the testosterone starts.

Here my old friend I got him with my Nikon he is starting to avoid some of my trail cams.

MN Slick, share some when you get them.

 

[Bill]

I'm starting to look down my nose at my old friend. My new friend is shaping up nicely. I have no idea where this deer came from but I hope he likes it here.

I could be wrong but he looks young to me.

 

[strawhead]

AWESOME pictures. Don't no your location, but we have nothing near that class on any of our cams in nw WI. Some of our does are over 4.5 yrs. old. No mature bucks found last year, and doesn't look good so far this year.
