Trail Camera Pics

Mid 150's looks like a fair guess to me, might even push 160 with all those extra points growing all over the place and good mass. That big 8 looks worthy of an arrow too, nice to have options.

I would agree with this. Low 150's gross when its said and done. Very nice buck with awesome character!

He will gross above 160, gauranteed. Hope SNS can shoot him and let us know. Bear55, I'd bet an adult beverage on it.

I don't think I can take that bet because I think you are right. I like to be a little conservative when I estimate score, when I try and nail a score dead on I end up in the low 160's and that could be short of what he really scores. Good luck stick, go get him!!!!

That is definately a dandy. He's wide, with long mains, and decent mass, but not overly tall. But with all those points (I count 17 as well) he's gonna rack up inches quickly.

Pretty cool the way he "went non-typical". Are you sure it's the same deer? Either way, I'll bet he's darn smart one! Hope ya' stick em'!

Bear, I agree with your last post, its exactly what I was thinking. Last year my cousin shot a 150 12 pt that was pretty similar, I think SNS's buck pretty easily has 10+ more inches of bone on it than that one did. He isn't very tall but he has mass and lots of points. He will gross well.

I don't know if I could fathom two of those boys running around together. The brows do have me curious but until I see a picure, I'm sticking with same deer. It seems he lost height this year but I think it's just the velvet illusion. Here are a few from last year.

[InTheNorthwoods]

I would tend to agree that it looks like the same deer based on comparing his right side configuration and the general shape of the brows. It wouldn't be uncommon to see a buck start to throw "junk" when they get to be 5+ years old as you have suggested. The loss of a little tine length can be more than explained by this years addition of sticker and non-typical points.

Great looking deer! Still guessing mid 150's

[Meat-Run]

I'll go out on a limb and say it's two different bucks and that it will push the 170 mark, for your sake I hope I'm right. Devils advocate but why couldn't two or more large deer habit the same territory now, the bachelor groups are still together and obviously you have good food source to support those quality racks...just my .02

They most certainly could and often do. The initial set of pictures show two mature bucks together and I've got other pics from July showing 3 together. However, for two to be that similar and having the exact same characteristics is a stretch. I'm not ruling it out though. One of the Cannon Falls buck's offspring was shot last year in which initially they thought it was the father but it turned out being one of the sons. For my sake and other fellow hunters nearby, I hope that's the case here as well.

SNS,

eitherway it sure makes it hard to wait till you can get in the stand and from the sounds of it your seat will be cold....hmmmm maybe somebody could keep it warm till you can make it!?

ha,ha.

I got even more pictures of that buck I sent you today. I figured out where he's coming and going so I put a stand 20 yards or more off his route he has a edge that he follows and from the looks of the trail and his evening and morning ritual I should get a crack at him.

and here are some deer pics as well........

Nice pics cj - A buck has a hard time passing up ripe apples.

[cat-man]

is this a yote or a wolf

[Finlander]

It's a yote! Too skinney to be a wolf!

[InTheNorthwoods]

Wolf. Looks way bigger in all ways (especially height and leg length) than a coyote. The fact that it is relatively skinny is not a real factor, it easily could be a young wolf and it is also the middle of the summer.

[Bear55]

Hard to say but something about that pic is saying wolf to me.

[96trigger]

I would say yote, very tough to tell. I think the camera being set so low makes it look bigger/taller than it really is. Just gut feeling.

[InTheNorthwoods]

Its just something about the length of the legs on that critter that makes me think wolf. I've seen a lot of coyotes and never have I seen one with such long legs proportionally. That and the size of that rear paw makes me think it still has a lot of growing to do and that it looks like a young wolf.

[certified jumbo]

It looks like a wolf, but things can be deceiving. My guess with that pic would be wolf.

[FishingWebGuy]

I'd say a 'yote because of the height compared to the height of the weeds -- wolves are taller. Also the back left paw looks like a coyote's where a wolve's is bigger. Otherwise hard to tell without seeing the tail or face.

If it is a wolf, it would probably be a pup. And the only thing that makes me think it could be is that I can't see the bushy coyote tail.

I've seen skinnier looking wolves especially in the heat of summer

[sticknstring]

At first glance I say wolf. Looking closer, I see a low camera and a critter that's close. Final anwser is coyote.

[FLnick87]

german shepard....hah just a guess

[MNRookie78]

Tough to tell if that's a yote or wolf without anything to give reference of size and without seeing it's face.

[Gofishleech]

shoot it and we will know for sure
