I had not pulled cards from the cams here at home in forever, since late May...so I did some work this morning, changed batts, trimmed in front of cams and placed new trophy rocks here at home this morning. I came in and checked the pics and got pretty excited to see this new buck on one of the cams. It's from clear back in June so I am pretty pumped to see what a month of growth did to this guy. Sadly I didn't have any more recent pics of him but the batts pooped out on all the cams after July 8th on the latest running camera. I got really behind on stuff lately.
Yes...yes I am. (yeah right ) Funny (in an interesting way) isn't it that a state that has historically produced so many ridiculous monster deer still has never produced a 200" typical buck. http://ksoutdoors.com/Hunting/Big-G...Deer-Award-Program/Kansas-Top-20-Deer-Records
Pretty neat, until I started trying to manage deer in this area, 140" buck was considered huge and anything more than an 8 point was very rarely heard of, now it's not uncommon for even the little doinkers to throw out ten point frames...it's pretty amazing. I've literally lost count of the nice ten points I've gotten on camera this year. (of course we've had two years back to back of abnormally high rainfall too).
Lol, well we still have a lot of doinkers that are less than ten pointers too but it's cool to see some of the little guys with beginning frames like this one:
Yeah and I have 4 year old deer around here that aren't that big! I can't wait to see some pics of that first buck when he is finished out! Great deer Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
There's something about a clean main frame 10 that I will always like! Heck of a deer, how more rare to catch him at a perfect photo opp. I says....he's taunting you Covey. "Look at my beautiful rack. And just when you think you've got my pinned, i'll disappear! Good luck".
