Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Before and After -----Targeted buck hunting

How many guys have bucks they got on camera and we're successful in taking?
I've had a few. Still have a few weeks to take out a couple mutant donks if they are still alive/ around.

I don't use trail cameras but I have gotten several blacktails I knew about.

Quite often. In fact I don't nkow that many deer we've shot since we started using game cameras were never on camera at some point.

I don't care much about the trophy aspect of the cameras, it is what it is. I do LOVE the cameras to show all the trash out there and those I target really really hard to try to keep the genetics fairly clean.

Don't use cameras, but have at times decided to focus on a specific animal that we had previously seen. Nearly always ends with tag soup.

Yup.



This year

we pretty much know which bucks we're targeting when the season opens; although that sometimes changes when the rut kicks into high gear & new deer start showing up....







will see if i can dig up some more, when photobucket tanked i lost a bunch of 'em.

we usually see our biggest bucks on camera in December, and we make a hit list for next year then.....

Oh yes, this is the only way I hunt, I give My cameras 100% credit for the seven 150"+ bucks I have taken over the last 6 years......Hb

Fyrepowrx......Congrats on that stud!......Hb

First time to kill a nice one I got pics of was last year. On this small property it is not uncommon to get a few pics of big bucks before season starts and then they disappear when season starts. This buck hung around one week too long and I got him on the second day of muzzleloader season.

I need to get some cameras. Nice bucks you guys. I like this thread, keep'em coming.

First one was #3 on the list second one was #1 on the list.

On my small property, I'm kind of at the mercy of the neighbors. This year it worked out.

Like that tall racked sucker!
