    I always have less bucks in the summertime, I wouldn’t worry about it.

    Exciting day! Checked camera at my most productive mineral site. Boy ohh boy what a card pull!

    Mr Clean looks like he is trying to push G5s! Last year he was 160”. I think he has a legitimate shot at being a booner typical. 5 1/2 this year.

    As insane as this may sound, there is a good possibility I will pass him unless my number 2 buck quits showing up on camera. That buck will outscore MR Clean by 25-30 inches. But last year he disssapeared in October and cane back in January. So if that happens I will go after Mr Clean

    Trident is still around. He has to be 9-10 years old. He threw a unicorn point and stickers in his goofy side! Would be an awesome deer to kill. Im gonna try to get a buddy on him.

    Last year there was a tight racked 3 year old 9 point on the home farm. He’s back! He’s a chunky 10 point as a 4 year old. Looks to have some similar genes to Mr Clean, but not quite as big. Looks to be around 140”. Hopefully he makes it another year.

    Here he is in 2017

    And here he is now

    Fingers has pretty much finished out. I can’t get over how much he blew up from 2-3 yrs old. He has also started showing up 3/4 mile west of where he spent the entire year last year.

    Here he is in 2017 as a 2 year old

    Look how much he blew up this year!

    This is another buck that has really put on the inches from 2-3. I call him Crooked Beam. Last year he was a pretty average 2 year old 8 point. This is proof positive giving deer birthdays is key to growing big deer.

    Here he is in 2017

    Look at him now as a 3 year old . He’s gonna be a mega 8 point next year

    This is actually one of the bucks I am most excited about. Not many guys get fired up about a 2 year old...but I think this one has 200” potential if he can make it to 4 or 5. A mainframe 10 pt with forks on both g2s and both brows. 14 points as a 2 year old! If he does what I think he might these may be the last pics I post of him for a few years

    Looking good buddy. I had a deer similar to your last one we called “Future” that just disappeared this year. Hoping he shows back up soon, I know he survived the season.

    What did he look like as a year old deer ? Are there certain markings you have studied on them that you can distinguish from year to year?

    This time of the year I have a hard time convincing myself of ages on deer who are not fully mature. What do you see in the 14 pt that makes you say he is a year younger then the 8 before it? Is it just simply that it’s the first year you have pictures of the deer with good antler growth? If that 8 point just showed up this year would you say he was 2? Im just curious I have a hard time seeing much difference in the two. Once we get to the end of October I feel like I would be able to tell but now I’m personally stumped lol

    His body screams 2 years old. His skull isn’t even finished growing. Snout is still short. The 8 point I know is 3 for certain as I know him from last year.

    Hey boon, how often do you check a camera? I know you have multiple spots so you probably rotate through but how long are they soaking before you check?
