Nice shots! I really like that they have added Date & Time to these cameras, but it would be so helpfull if they would add GPS to them so we um, a guy could remember where he took them the next year!

[Sheephead Slayer]

Wonder what you all think,is this a six,seven or eight?

[sticknstring]

Looks like a 7 to me, possibly an 8.

Pointer - that's a big friggin 8pt. The others aren't too shabby either.

[Baitchaser]

pointer - great pictures. Looks like that doe is wearing a sock on her back right leg, kinda cool. beautiful 8 too!

Hear are a couple bucks, the first has an interesting rack.

[certified jumbo]

what a cool buck that first one is, nice!!

[goblueM]

A spike and a fork sparring in the background while the big guy doesn't care haha

[Finlander]

Reelguy, that first buck will be a real dandy giving him another three years!

First time poster and pretty new to deer hunting in general. I am really bad at guessing how old bucks are so I would appreciate if you guys could help me on these deer. The first two are is from this summer. The third was from last October and we are pretty sure he made it through last season. They aren't anything special but hopefully in a couple years we will have some nice bucks running around!

Thanks!

The first two might depend on your area and how much food/genetics going for you. My gut said 3.5 and 2.5 but you might have a couple of stud 2.5 and 1.5 year old deer on your hands.

The last one is clearly a mature old buck. Hard to say for sure but he could be as young as 4.5 or as old as 10, you just never know.

I had this doe on camera and she walked under my stand last night, so I got a better look at her. Does anybody know what happened. Her hair is starting to grow back now.

[mabr]

Without a pic of the first one sideways I couldn't guess age but I think he is an older deer based on the mass I can see, second one to me at least isn't mature yet, 3rd one Is for sure mature.

Had you asked which one I would shoot based on antler, 1st pic would be my choice He has some TALL height on him and I'm partial to 10++ points. The 3rd pic would be making the ride home as well

[mabr]

She's shedding her summer coat and growing her winter. All deer look like that when that happens

[bassnbucks]

This is the dude I am after. I think that he is a ghost now. I haven't had any pics of him since this one. With the beans coming off now and the corn right behind it, I am hoping that more deer move into the trees/river bottom that I hunt.

[ozzie]

he's a 3 legged ghost!!

[bigbucks]

He's a brute. I'd be after him too.

[archerystud]

I've been amazed at how many times I catch a nice one on camera late in Aug/early Sept. and I never see them again.

Probably due to hormones rising and some of the buck groups breaking up. However, even if he might not be living in your hunting area he is probably close enough to venture back during the rut.

If he were on my camera I'd have my sights set on him as well.

I like the pictures with the deer next to a pile of apples and corn. . Hopefully its all picked up 10 days before opener if your hunting MN.

[96trigger]

Great reminder! Surprisingly, after 20 pages, only 2 people have obvious bate piles, another looks like he has apples, but can't be sure. The rest all appear to look like mineral.

[your_bobbers_down]

Nice!!

[gopher_nation]

That is an ideal caption contest photo!

[Bear55]

"He's just like his father!"

[goblueM]

That fawn has a serious Oedipus complex!
