    Hey everyone, I checked my camera yesterday for the first time in a little over a month. I had a TON of picture, but this big body really stuck out compared to all of the other deer on film. Is this a massive doe or just a buck that lost his antlers. I know there is a 10 pt running around out there and just curious if this may be him. This is also my first year running cameras, so I do not have enough pictures of bucks to compare body features yet.

    For Snow depth comparison, here is a yote on the trail.

    I guess now that you mention it, I dont know? I know there is a couple of coyotes running around out there... I have never seen a fox on any camera out there, but I guess it could be?

    From the size of the body I think it's a buck that has shed.

    That is what I am leaning towards now that it has been mentioned. I have just never seen one before on camera or out on the land. Cool none the less!

    I think it is a doe.

    Tough to say... I would say a buck from the first picture myself. Big body though.

    look at how his ears sit you can tell its a buck because he normally has his horns on so his ears stick almost strate out.

    Grube, Would that indicate a larger rack?
