While going thru my pictures to find some 8 pointers to put in Otter6 thread, I thought it would interesting to post up a favorite trail cam pic.

I set up a trail cam on a scrap and it captured a huge buck laying down. Never seen him since.



Like to see your favorites.

^^^^^^^^ Quite the buck ^^^^^^^^

F A N T A S T I C plus a tremendous Drop.

Fantastic picture of a very nice buck, a no brainer shooter.....I wish i knew how to post pics....Hb

I have gotten pictures of him for four years, but only one sequence during daylight. 12 yards in front of my stand while I was bow hunting in a different stand. I walked up on him at the edge of my yard once during bow season, only time I saw him in person. He was occupied with a doe but I had no shot.

S H E E S H. At least y'all get to see monsters like that and ya know they're there.

D A N D Y buck. Good Luck


Jerry

STUDS

that bedded buck is a great one!

always liked this one , from Christmas morning...


and , this little buck that was strutting his stuff....


had a bunch of good ones saved on photobucket & lost them; been gradually looking back through folders of saved pix & re-uploading....




good one in the foreground letting the little buck behind the tree know who is boss:

piebald spotted 8 pointer,,,


couple of the boys in the background, watchin the girls...

You're disgusting !


Jerry

Do you have any small deer on your property? Lol.

Absolutely beautiful buck!!

damn, the wife tells me that a lot too, had thought it was just her acute sense of smell...

This one is special to me. I never saw him but found his sheds 3/4 mi away the next spring. I never got a pic of him and never saw him but I found some big rubs the next year right where I found his sheds .

A few here and there.

That is a nice buck, 54woody.

Fyrepowrx, a lot of nice bucks in those pics.

ihookem, northern or southern Wisconsin deer?

FyrepowrX


Holy MACKEL Andy ! What a HOSS !

Jerry

I have come to believe that trail cameras are the best and worst thing that has affected the way I hunt. Because I now know if there is a special buck in my area I stay in the stand longer, hunt more days, tolerate bad weather. But I also eat my tag by waiting for the big boy. Indiana has a one buck rule so I have to decide which one is the one. Other than the buck above which I have stopped waiting on, this was the biggest buck on my place last year.

This picture was in front of my stand the afternoon after I took the buck below from the same stand that morning. Both nice deer but I wasn't waiting any longer for the big boy because I had not punched a tag at home in two years. Maybe this year I'll hold out again.

My son killed this deer that same season. Wish he could have had a few more years to mature, but with the Mennonites around that shoot anything with hair, it's extremely doubtful the buck would have made it.

James, do have a picture of your son with the deer without velvet?

James, impressive deer.

I know you are capable of doing that.......... besides it LOOKS like you.


Jerry

Jerry,
That's nonsense - my eyes are a much bigger.

I have asked a taxidermist to replicate the ears pinned back and stink eye look on a couple of buck mounts but they failed.

I'm sure I do somewhere. Will have to look through some stuff.

little buck trying to hang with the big guys...

Very NEAT !


Jerry

Dang! You all are posting up some great pics. I don't do much of that,but enjoy looking at others pics. Very cool.

Group of healthy adult does at the feeder for size comparison:



and, a big bodied buck....trail cam is in the same location...he's a beast...

Good grief that neck is 3' long.

I am moving north & west !!!

Never saw him again until a rancher found his decomposed carcass by a creek...EHD casuality along with many other big bucks in our unit that year...

F B F

What a tragedy. A crying shame.
So sorry


Jerry

Gulp! That was a great buck, FlyBoy.

Wrong Date/time stamp. This is actually from last night about 100 yards behind my house.





This morning behind my house.



Rio7

Rio,
I'm quite certain this has been mentioned before, but, uhhhhhh, you suck.

Gorgeous bucks!

The buck in front is like a dream.

Here's a couple more from last night, wrong time and date but have that fixed now.







Rio7

Xs TWO ! ! !


Jerry

Same area, last night;



Rio7

lunchroom brawl....


no deer in this one, but still a cool pic of a lightning bolt behind the food plot

Fyrepower

K O O L pix. Enjoyable Thanks


Jerry

Roundoak, those are all Price co. bucks.

I do have some bruiser bucks from Washington co., 20 mi. south of Fon Du Lac where I live. Perhaps those are also in order. I get very few big bucks on the trail cam in northern WIs. the last 8 yrs.

Last years buck. Antlers look outsized compared to his body because of his alignment to the camera.

A little more realistic, rough measured at 161+


He's at the Taxidermist now.

S H A Z A A M Andy !!!

Antlers don’t look small when he’s on the ground.


Jerry

Happy hour time for drink, Rio7

I love this:





I’ve been in that VERY situation 2-3 Xs over the years. A little eerie, A lot KOOL !
Thnx

Jerry

Wow! Man, that gets my trigger finger "itching."

It's been 105 deg. to 110 deg. for the last few days the bucks are coming to water in bunch's at night, this last night about 6 miles North of my house. Rio7

Can someone help?
I cannot post pictures.
I have a couple pics that are, I think, cool, not monsters but--
Can text them to someone who will post.

Not a trail camera pic but was taken from my front door last September.

Yes TBREW, I can and will post pix for you BUT let me give you some encouragement, from my experience.

It's EASY and quick to open an IMGUR.com account. Once you have done that, pull up IMGUR on your puter.
I load ALL my pix from my Iphone--- to IMGUR. Open imgur on your phone, touch the camera icon and follow the instructions.
They will load to IMGUR and then you post from IMGUR to the Campfire.

It really is EASIER to do than explain. Trust me.
Good Luck

Jerry

Thanks jwall, will try it

TBREW

If you have problems, PM me and we'll discuss texting your pix.

D A N D Y !!

I got this picture about this time 2 years ago and thought it was the coolest. I was lucky enough to harvest this buck during the Christmas hunt that year.

c d


That's a FINE Ar buck! !

GOOD mass, Tall tines. Love the eyeguards. I can tell he's at least a 9 pt (eastern count). Is that a sticker ON his left G 3?




He'd been better 2 yrs. later.


Messin with ya !

I dont do trail cams, but my dad does. Pretty much just around camp. He got this one at our apple trees. Never did hear anyone gettin him

Bateman couldn’t have composed it better. A perfect moment in time.

a couple pix of the same buck...he's an older big bodied 10 pointer, have had a number of pix of him, but have yet to ever see him in person.
will see if i can find some front pics of him, he's fairly wide.

This was him in January 2017:


and, him again, in October of 2017, about 400 yards away from the first pic...i have a heavily timbered valley with a lot of brush running through my farm & all pix of him are near that spot. Have looked back through pix, thinking he was 5-1/2 yrs old last fall. i put 2 cameras out near these spots last week, going to see if there is any pics of him, and see how he's changed with another year on him and see what he looks like at 6-1/2.

Fyrepowr

Great Pix, Great Buck.

I'm NO expert but IMO it seems to me he's older than 5-6 1/2. He's already got gray on his face between eyes & nose.
Hopefully you can collect him this season. GOOD Luck

i've wondered about his age, in some pix he looks like he could be older than i had thought, so am eager to see what pix come show up; spending the next 3 days working the farm to get ready for deer season.

putting out 6 more cameras this weekend in between working the plots & clearing timber.

Interesting Buck Rio7

Another Picture. Rio7

RIO

Don't you know that PORN ain't allowed here on the 'fire'? ?



I repeat from other posts --- I've NEVER seen a buck like THAT & others posted here. Be GLAD y'all have em.

I can't kill what ain't here.

jwall, put a camera on a windmill about 2 miles north of my house, don't see many deer here on the ranch with that type antlers, interesting. Rio7

Jwall,

Don't be too certain of that. The biggest, baddest buck I have ever seen anywhere was about a quarter mile from our farm house. I walked some CRP to get a couple pheasants and almost dropped a rooster right on him. My little springer ran over to get the bird and the buck stood up. He was huge with double drop tines. He jumped the fence and ran up on the hill a hundred or so yards away. He watched me until I started back to the house then trotted back down, jumped the fence and went back to where he had been laying up. Never saw him again or heard of anyone getting one that could have been him. They are out there!

Louisiana Delta bottom land deer. We named him Dracula, never saw him except at night on trail cams. Good buddy finally was able to harvest him.

DF

Dracula, would be a stud duck just about any place. Rio7

Yeah, he was the stud duck around here for a while. We see young bucks that have to be his sons.

DF

He had the testee to qualify, for sure. WOW

Yeah, heavy on both ends.

DF

A Pic was posted FOR laughs
I voluntarily deleted — no one asked.

Blue, can you toll Him up behind your house so Randy and I can finish wearing out your back door looking? miles

(-Am I confused ? It says you are in Nebraska ?)- Disregard -- confusion cleared UP. Thnx


ATST, a few years back - maybe 2015 ? an Arkansas hunter killed the NEW record buck for Ark. BobinNH was still alive and we talked about it. I can't remember if someone posted a pic here on the 'fire' or not. I have the Newspaper pic and article.
--- I'll see what I can find --

Yes, J D - Ark has some BRUISERS. Many come from the Delta Farm Land.....no surprise.

I've hunted Ark since 1972 and La, Miss, & Al. At the time I hunted in the "Golden Triangle" of Al. Saw lots of deer but NONE close to the ones pictured here or the Record for Ark.

In my LIFETIME, I have seen 2 that I would call monsters BUT imo - they were not in that category.

I'd be MORE than glad to see 1.

Yikes...

DF

Miles, That buck is a couple of miles north, you will have to settle for some of these out the back door, I will oil the hinges on the door. Rio7

Miles, date and time are right but I forgot to change location on the camera.

Not a white tail and I have posted it before. Camera on friends lease in old Mexico. Taken in 2016. Hasbeen

That's a big cat.

Wonder what he weighs.

DF

Blue, you better get some heavy duty oil. miles

No telling. He’s tried chickens but has not had him come in while he’s been there. Hasbeen

Miles, Iv'e got my grease gun by the door. Rio7

I like his SWAGGER !! Look at his R front leg - foot. !!




Obviously not a young Cat. Long body, large legs & FEET.

Thnx for posting.

Think the coons were nervous. Hasbeen

No luck. I’m surprised !

I have a scrap-book box that I keep Obits, pix, events, etc. I went to the bottom of the box. I remember the article and pic.
I remember telling BobNH where to find it on line.

I know it was before 2016. Couldn’t find the pic. Sorry

All these pictures , both sets , were from last year and before , haven't seen anything to get excited about this year . But have not pursued with camera much this year as our hunting was iffy as to wether we would still have it this year . They finally got it squared away , so this year is a we will see year .
Kenneth

Put out some corn and.....

Photo a bit distorted, shot from TV screen while viewing trail cam card. Photo a couple of years old

DF

Found another one from same vintage.

DF

Here's a couple I have not seen before Rio7

Dirtfarmer, Nice deer. Rio7

Absolutely NO criticism meant.

Spooky, Almost Macabre ! I LIKE em.

Rio, that is one fat dude in the first pic!

How about this one. Webb County, South Texas. This is from another hunter on my lease.

THAT would win awards. Maybe best deer cam pic I have ever seen.

'MERICA dammit!!!

Opening day last year 2 hours after I got out of the stand after sitting from 5:30 am

Awesome pics!

I’ve spent the last half hour drooling over these pictures. Deer season can’t get here fast enough!
