    The one thing I like best about running trail cameras is the ability to gather pictures of the same deer as they progress through the years. I'm very fortunate to have access to a rather large farm where Mike and I are the only two people allowed to bow hunt. While we don't have a ton of deer running around, we do have the ability to watch them grow as the years go by. These are two that we'll be chasing this fall.

    2 1/2, 3 1/2 and 4 1/2.


    The date of the 3 1/2 is wrong. It is from the rut last year.

    Definitely cool to watch a buck a few years... Is it me or is 4 to 5 a HUGE jump in most deer? Too bad I can barely (or not) pass a 2 1/2 year old. ;)

    Good luck JZ!

    One of the coolest things to experience in deer hunting and management! I've had several of these opportunities over the years. Unfortunately I had a breakin a few years ago and the crooked jackwagons stole my trail cams, my PC and some other hunting gear and some valuable parts. Like an idiot I didn't backup my pics so I lost over a decade of trail cam records along with a ton of other stuff. Out of all of it, I miss the historical camera pics the worst by far.

    Yes makes for an even better story. When you have pics to go with the history of the deer your chasing!
