To those who are getting mature buck pics.......

How could you not get hooked on archery? The thrill of having deer so close and still having to draw on them and successfully fire an arrow through them....man, I'm ready for the season! Let's hope you can get him on one.

I would agree. He will be hooked. I would also agree with those above that 264 is a pretty legit dude.

My ref to 264 was pure sarcasm...Don't want anyone thinking otherwise. He seems like a good guy.

Lol. Don't worry man, I wasn't taking it with any bad intent. I mean heck, if we didn't tell 264 that he was a good guy then he might get butt hurt or something. :-)

Downloaded and watched about 450 10 second video clips from my camera's today. All the bucks are still nocturnal and hanging together.

That one in the back is a young stud....
A few more years and he'll be a legit monster!
If I can keep 264 off him lol

That is not likely.

Yessir! We have two other that look very similar to him. Must be something in the water out here!

We always thought it was silly how folks that do hunting shows "name" their bucks - until we started getting lots of potential shooters. Now, they all have names.

Forkie, slingshot, fatman, pitchfork, snagglepuss, perfect1, crescent-scar, king crown, Double-E - all odd names, but makes perfect sense for id reasons. that way the wife and I can talk about a deer and know which one we are referring to.

Me too. I named that tall, heavy buck that AllOut posted "Shawn". And there's another bruiser buck that we call Steve.

And I don't like any of you people. Stop looking at my deer. Get out of this thread.

Dang, you were right....he comes in here as gets all butt hurt right away.

I've been thinking a lot about this thread, and for me, this has been an odd year. I put my cameras out the end of August, and I've been getting and am still getting mature buck pictures on a daily basis. Normally, the bigger, older bucks don't show up until the end of September or first of October. I've been looking back through last years pictures, and I have identified several bucks.

Another oddity is that my big buck that I've hunted for two years has only shown up at one of my three camera locations. I normally get bucks on at least two cameras, but so far, this buck seems to be hanging out around one camera (the same location as last year).

That sure will work out great for you...........nothing like a "predictable" mature buck! (Wishful thinking at least)
