    This Buck just appeared in October of last year. Never saw him before. I call him Full House. Now he is a regular.

    I've had several over last season and new ones now.
    This one showed up once and disappeared. He was impressive enough to gain a name based on one nights worth of pics.

    This one is on a property I farm but can't hunt. Never saw him past this one of two pics.

    These two are new and recent. Never seen them before but hope to see them this coming season!

    He said he had two stands on that property this year and hunted it sparingly. The day that buck came by during daylight hours it passed by the stand he wasn't sitting....ughhhhhh. He then claimed a neighbor that didnt hunt had seen it a couple of times just walking across his driveway the last hour of the day. It seems he had the local hunters patterned. hahaha

    I am getting pics of bucks that have not been regular visitors in the past, they are always welcome.

    Here is my ghost, showed up out of nowhere, took 3 pictures than vanished to never be seen again. Talked to everyone that hunts by me and no one has even seen him or a deer even like him before.

    Neither have I, my jaw slammed to the floor when I saw this buck and now it seams one of his offsprings is getting the same qualities he has with a single split brow, he has a very small split right bow but next year it should be like his or like qualities. If you look at our left, his right brow you can see the split and his left brow is starting to get the same qualities as well

    Nice buck but probably not a ghost buck. He could have just moved into the area. Now if he disappears and shows back up 6 months from now it's a ghost.
