Posing ! Check out that chocolate color on the newly rubbed antlers!

Those are some really neat pictures. What type of trail camera are you running?

[TripleDigitRide]

They sure do seem to like that spot for some reason. I don't know anything about hunting, but I do believe I'd be setting up camp in that very area. Looks like that trip should be a sure thing.

Good luck.

the camera must make a sound a half second or so before it takes the pic.

[musicman]

yea, a crazy sound at that! Look at their eyes!! :death:

yea, yea, I know... it's the flash and their eyes relfecting... whatever, it just looks funny!! We caught a mouse at my church in Miami (haha, church mouse, haha!) and kept if in a cage for awhile. It'e right eye was about twice the size of his left eye, and we named him Buckeye. He was a fun critter.... til our cat got the lid off the cage..... anyways, these night pics remind me of him!

[Rightwinger]

Camera is a Moultrie 3 megapixel camera. It does make a low hum as the capacitors charge for the flash. Thats why you usually see them looking directly at it and it blows up the eyes. Day shots with no flash get the side shots.

The hole you see low center is where I put a salt block and a mineral solution last year. They have eaten the ground out to that almost one foot depth over the last year. I also do some feeding there during the summer to keep them interested in the area. Mostly shelled corn and wheat. Throw in some apples and radish on occassion.

nice deer and good luck.

[Guest Grizzly Johnson]

Let them grow another year and then try next year, they should be really nice by then...... But hey, you are the one letting go of the string or pullin the trigger....... nice bucks though!!

[Guest Bronker]

Hey RW...

Remind me again how to get to your house...!!!???

I'll even take the little one!

Good luck. If you get him, post pics. Wear your safety harness:death:

I have counted 6 different bucks at this location ranging from one year spikes to that biggest one. I have watched him grow up the past two years for sure and maybe three. Here he is with his big brother...last year. I didn't get the bigger one and have not seen him this year at all. Looks like he has either totally moved out of the area or someone got him last year. If I get the shot at this one he comes home with me as I have plenty coming up behind him.

I have posted this one before as well but its at the same spot with some dominance games going on as well as some spectators cheering on the fight!

And this was one taken about 400 yards down off this ridge in 05

Sorry, not trying to show off, got a little fever running right now!

[KahrMan]

Really cool pics Brent. I was out putting the final touches on a ground blind yesterday. Can't wait for Saturday morning!

[TGO David]

Absolutely no reason to apologize. I love these pictures!

[memphismason]

Awesome shots.

I can't wait to get out there.

I am bummed out a little. This is opening weekend and I have a little sister's birthday to go to Sat. and a Family reunion on Sunday....so I am thinking about crying.

[Guest Jcochran88]

Those are some nice bucks, good luck! I just hope to see a buck on Saturday.

[Guest SUNTZU]

Hey rightwinger, don't shoot the guy in the tree stand near your camera, its just me.

[Guest Grizzly Johnson]

Sorry, not trying to show off, got a little fever running right now!

I would be, those are nice bucks for sure. I would like to kill one that big some day. My biggest was a 6pt I shot on a juvi. hunt some 16 years ago. Just never had any luck connecting with a big one. I will post some pics of my potentials this year when I get time....... Good luck, if I don't have to work saturday, I will be somewhere in the woods myself.....

[Rightwinger]

Hey rightwinger, don't shoot the guy in the tree stand near your camera, its just me.

What....shoot a guy hanging out in my hunting areas....never. Flog him a bit and make him go home nekkid....probably.
