Very nice, about how far are your cameras away from each other?

I was wondering the same. Looks like the big split brow buck visited 2 different cams in under an hour. Great pics. I'm in love with the split brow buck! Love those big bases.

I just measured it on Google Earth and those two cameras are 784 yards apart from each other. The time could be off a little on one or both of them, but either way, that buck is covering some ground. Hope he keeps that up! What's odd is that I don't have a single picture of him in any of my beans or corn. All the other bucks are coming on a fairly regular basis, but he stays in the woods. Not a single picture of him on a field of any kind. And I agree, I love that buck! He's definitely one I would like to see us take.

Thanks! But these are actually TN deer. I live in AL, but my farm is in TN.
Very nice !

Wow, 784 yards in a day at the time of years many bucks (if undisturbed) will not travel more than 100 yards.
Yet during the rut, 784 yards might be less than average for most bucks' daily travels.
For many TN hunters, such a move would have that buck crossing (or setting foot on) multiple properties.
This is but the latest "confirmation" of some of my observations, in that each buck is an individual, some have much smaller, others much larger daily excursions. And even more to that individuality, some particular bucks simply rarely (if ever) step into a field or food plot except under the cover of darkness, even then may be "rare" for that particular buck.
With so many hunters focusing their hunting on fields & food plots, I believe we're creating more survivors among those bucks that tend to avoid the more open areas. Most of the hunters I hear complaining about a lack of deer sightings, they are the ones who wear out the same old stands, hunt after hunt, overlooking fields and food plots. Many hunters like to set up where they can "see", while the deer like to be where they can't be "seen".
There's a reason deer hunting was called "hunting" instead of "fielding",
although many who think they're deer hunting may be doing more "plot-watching" than deer hunting.

Nice bucks and a lot of day light movement. Maybe they'll stick to that. Good luck.
Awesome bucks

Nice Bucks. I have seen Bucks in early September travel over 500 yards to get out to Soybean Fields. This was on public land in KY. Most of the hunters were hunting over the fields, but the bucks were actually bedding down literally 500 to 600 yards away on top of a ridge.

Hopefully in a good way!
Trail cameras have provided us a lot of good information over the years, that is for sure!
