    Well last night I had three bucks by me, all 1.5 yearl olds and 8's. They were chasin a doe, I checked my camera and it appears JR and "The Michigan Bull"(named by Jim) made it!!!

    For what I can tell

    3 2.5 made it
    6 1.5 made it.

    Keep the camera out through Jan and see what I get.

    My first year with camera's has been a lot of fun, I cannot wait for July to put them out again!!!!!

    I have been hearing the same thing. I saw two antlered bucks last night, and best I can remember, those were the first two antlered bucks I have seen after muzzleloader season. Considering muzzleloader was Dec. 4th-20th this year, I am really surprised. I have been hearing many more shots than normal this December and it has continued with the late antlerless gun season. I'm starting to see more and more daytime movement since muzzleloader ended though.

    Same thing in North MO. I've been getting more big buck sightings and photos in the past couple of weeks. All during daytime hours and atleast an hour before or after dark.

    I put my camera on a turnip patch that is about 200 yards from a SE facing slope covered in cedars. They are the best pics I've had all year. It's been so good there in fact I took some more vacation and am leaving to go there tonight.

    The pics are attached to a posting on the last page of the TEAM 5 official thread for the 09 contest. There are some other pics on a thread I posted titled " For those who are burnt out or thinking about planting turnips..." It is located on page 5 for threads under General Bowhunting. All pics are from within the past two weeks.

    I would post the pics, but it won't let me post them again.

    There, I added one that I hadn't posted.
