Good looking one there Toker!! Keep tabs and hopefully you get a crack at him. I just got my first camera out yesterday.

I would figure this buck out and get to know his pattern. I'm impressed with the body on that deer. He may not be a 5.5+ year old without that sag in his belly and short legs that those deer in that age group have, but he has a long body and his face has that roman nose look. He is looking your way and indicating "don't mess with me".

I have an idea who he is I believe and this would be the 3rd year we’ve owned this section of property. I’m hoping he makes the kind of jump i expect him to. I let him walk in 2020 cuz he was just a small 9pt. Was a decent 10 last year.
Finally got into the woods and put out several cameras. Took advantage of today's cool temps. Woods was still mighty warm and buggy. I figure it cost me about 30 bucks in gas for todays round trip. Thats even with getting 30 mpg in my subaru. I don't intend on checking these cameras until around the squirrel opener on Sept.1st. The first few years I ran cameras I think I educated every deer in my areas by going in and checking cameras every week. While late season scouting I found three new pinch points on state forest land I hope to hunt this fall. Put a camera on each today. One is at the upper end of a pond that funnels all the deer thru a fairly narrow area. Two others are where I found downed trees knocking down old abandoned fencing. Deer trails at both spots funnel to these crossings. All three look very promising. Never know what spots will produce vs be a bust.
I have thought about trying them out as it seems the price on them has come way down. Unfortunately, most of the areas I hunt have poor cell coverage.
