344 pics (472 total with 5 cams (see bottom line for a note on that

).. almost all bucks along with a few doe and about ten coyote pics. There were a few small bucks that I didn't upload but hopefully this is enough for yall $\:D$ (this post took me an hour to make)

I've gotten some big rack deer over the years (and a nice amount of mature deer) but this is by far my favorite. AGE guesses please lol 6.5+ IMO My dad says we should call him warrior.. very fitting name. I would kill this deer before the big 8 in a heartbeat.. It would be an honor to take such a brute, shame he broke his main beam though. Won't be a problem next year $\:D$

Already posted this buck 2 weeks ago but got over 100 pics of him so I'll share a few. I love his browtines--3.5????

Ready to see this one next year-2.5

Little freak nasty 2.5?

Another little deer but I liked the pic

A nice coyote pic

From a different cam but same property (we actually got the little weird rack deer on this cam too) I already posted a pic of this deer a week ago but the one he is looking at isn't a deer we have seen. see this thread for better pic of him (3.5?)

Deer are starting to shed

That cam was put there because of this.. I think this might be a sign post rub $\:D$

Sucky thing is we actually had six cams out... someone stole the one we put on public land.. imagine that

That buck is a beast. Should have some big boys to go after next season.

Looks like that bad boy has been in a scrap or two. Good luck with him next season.
I don't know that I'd say that was a signpost rub although it's a big rub...one that gets you fired up about it's maker. Usually a signpost rub is made on the same tree yearly. After a few years the center starts getting worn away enough that the tree takes on the appearance of being bottlenecked. I've seen quite a few signpost rubs like this that were on trees that were 4"-10" in diameter above and below the rub but only 1"-6" in the center of the rub. I've seen a few where they just eventually rubbed the tree in half.

Thanks for the interesting info Mike. I assumed sign post because it acually is scraped in front of it. In fact if you look in between my dads legs and then about 1 1/2 feet down you'll see a big buck foot where he just rubbed and scraped the ground recently. Rained last night..

I will check it again next year. May even put a cam on it.

Yesiree, that first buck is the real deal. Look at how stained his tarsals are, black as oil. I'd bet he is 5.5+ all day long, and wouldn't be surprised if he was older. He looks pretty healthy for this time of year, which is a good thing. Best of luck with him this fall.

2 great bucks! I'd say for sure 5.5+ on him. Is this the first time you've ever seen the top one? What are they coming to corn?
