    i know its early, but lets see'em!! these are some RI bucks.....

    this first guy survived the winter, he still crosses the stream same spot, i can tell by hoof prints, i have sinced backed out of that area and brought my camera back out as well. i'm thinkin he was around 3 maybe maybe 4 last year. i plan on hunting that spot early November. this other guy is younger, im thinking maybe 3....we'll see how his antler growth goes! i have this guy patterned to a "t" but we'll see what happens come august early September if he disappears!! i do have a piebald buck on camera for a few months but has since disappeared in the past few weeks...he's right up there on the hitlist!

    I only got one set of pictures from September and had one encounter with this big guy last season. My dad thinks he may have seen him while driving nearby after the season ended, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that he's still alive.

    These two bucks have been on my hit-list since 2011-2012. The first buck, I saw him on a trail cam in 2011 and no one had seen him any that season because he was mostly nocturnal but because of his size and mass I nicknamed him "Dump truck". The second buck was also nocturnal and I saw him in 2012 on another trail cam I would wish i would of replaced before the picture of this massive buck was taken but because of the ghostly effect the cheap *** trail camera gave the deer in the picture i gave him the nickname "Specter". But with checking hunters in my club the past two seasons and constant scouting when I have time, but these are still lurking around as far as i know no one has harvested them. So hopefully 2013 will be my year.

    STUD!

    Last years pics. Found his week side shed. Never found the right side. He should be pretty nice this year. Killed his daddy last November. image.jpg image.jpg

    Have three other hit listers but this guy I think will really be nice this fall

    Although he disappeared in early November and I'm not sure if he's still alive or not, he's on the hit list until I know otherwise.

    This guy too. I had pics of him until mid-December so I'm assuming he made it. Only time will really tell.

    I don't have any pics but my target buck this season is the first buck that presents a good shot to me. Have yet to harvest a buck with the bow so I'm definitely not gonna be picky. :D

    I put a trail cam out a few weeks back and made a Mineral site with Monster Raxx where I last saw him. I am not going to pull the card until July 4th so I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will show up. We know he made it through last year. We found one side of his shed. Not the best picture, but he is a Brute!!

    It does suck...it's the one I got backing to Triadelphia Reservoir in late November. It was a family battle and the guy who gave me permission is moving off the property. Not sure what's going to happen but the chances aren't good.

    On a positive note, one of my hunting buddies just moved off of Ridge Rd and Marriottsville so I will be picking up a Liberty pass again this year and will be hunting some public land again. We will have to meet up.

    Yessir let's make it happen ! As far as my hit list goes I got a few 8 points that lived on a particular prop. Pretty sure I have had at least one of them on cam already just to early to tell.

    This buck has been on the list for the last couple of years. I saw him once 2 years ago and my buddy shot him last year and we never recovered him but I had pictures of him until late December until he shed.

    Maybe if he comes back.

    Not sure I'll be in NY to hunt him (most likely moving), but if so this guy is who I'm looking for.

    was after this guy all year. never laid eyes on him. he did make it through gun season tho. i would probably shoot the buck in the last picture if given the chance as well as long as he's not busted up
