Pics are uploading as we speak!

 

This is a buck that you can only see the tops of his tines if you really try, I wish you could see more detail so bad..

Prolly the biggest animal ever on camera neighbors fence went down and the whole herd paid a visit and knocked over our camera

Nice 8, 50% sure this is an 8 from last year which would make him 3.5 this year (need a name for this guy but nothing jumps at me)

Small bachelor group, far buck on the right is the previous 8 (75% sure)

Pretty sure this is a buck I named Roll Back this year because the first pics of him that I got it looked like his rack was tilted way back. Hopefully he put on that last 5-10 inches to make him in that 125-130 range. If this is Roll Back he should have decent width.

Now here is what I think is an old buck on his last legs, but ya never really know. Im wondering if this isnt a buck we named Boss Hogg from last year. Boss Hogg was a true tank. Just an average 8 point rack on top of a 350 lb body (probably not actually 350 but he was a big deer). P.S. how many bucks can you pick out? :grin:

This here is The Caribou. At first I wanted to name him Caribou Lou since I thought we was going to score 151 but after looking at him I know he probably wont break 130. This year. One of the most interesting bucks we have ever gotten on camera. We think he is young and has unlimited potential. With the height that he put on and his split beam action he could really explode. I really hope I dont have to decide to pass him or shoot him because it would be a difficult choice!

Here is a new buck to us and he looks good! Im thinking he is about 3.5 maybe 4.5 and he has the potential to turn into a great typical deer! I hope he really pushes those G4s out and knocks on 140 but as of right now I think he will be hard pressed to get into the 130s but he is basically an 8 as of now. Can't complain with that! I am currently accepting name proposals for this guy I have stomper in mind and youll see why in a second.

It looks like these two bucks are running together and maybe have a pecking order going?! The caribou is really pattern able as he walks across this approach every evening from 6-8. There is also that third buck which looks like a average 2.5 for around here.

This here is the one and only sticks from 2014. First deer that I have gotten pictures of, then found the shed, then gotten more picture of and first 100% without a doubt back to back years buck that we have gotten pictures of on the farm. I originally thought this was his son or brother since the kicker is on his other side this year but the notches in his left ear gave him away. I'm a little sad because it appears he didn't get any bigger. I taped his right side last year just shy of 60" which put him at roughly 135" last year. It looks like he has been hanging around in the corn with Boss Hogg. I would love to shoot this deer because he is the first mature buck I have developed history with.

This here is a new buck to us or at least not recognizable from last year. I think he is related to sticks some how because he has a sticker coming off his G1 also. First Pic I have gotten of him in a few months and I hope he pushes those G4s out. Either way he looks 3.5 and will get an arrow this year.

That sums up this camera pull. I got a lot more interesting pics of these bucks and a few smaller ones that I will post in a trail cam thread later. This year there is corn every where and we think a lot of our bucks are living in it almost 24/7. I know of a split G2 buck, a Split G3 buck, and a 140+ 10 that my Cousin and his buddy got pictures of in the middle of the corn field out there so there is 3 more to add to the list. The buddy said he would shoot them all and he has higher standards than me so do the math

I started 4 mock scrapes this weekend - two of which were on the edge of woods and corn - so I should start to have big bucks pouring in!

One thing I am happy about is this time last year we had 2 bucks we thought were 3 years and older (one turned out to be 2.5 according to our taxidermist) and 3-4 2 year olds. this year it appears we have 9-11 3 year old and I haven't even counted the 2 year olds since there are so many 3s to keep track of!

Hope it was worth the wait!

 

Great pics!

Pinkpony... we saw the ropes course as well... looked pretty cool. We just did the beach stuff... been to kittery a lot... and spend waaaay too much $$ there... lol

 

MnMoose, looks like a promising season! You have a lot of good looking bucks for this season and seasons to come.

 

Yeah it is turning out to be a great season. Hopefully I pick up one or two more bucks with these mock scrapes started. Id like to make one more if I get another camera going

 

some great looking bucks Moose!!!!

 

Thank ya

Got a call from my nurse case manager, she used her power to bump me into an appointment with an orthopedist tomorrow at 1030, then we can schedule an MRI....

 

Just cut it off and rub some dirt in it!

Wow I've been gone a few days and we now have a team name, captain, signature pic, new guy on board, another guy that gets injured, a few more pages of posts, some team members only an hour away from me on vacation, lots of pics.. WOW I need to catch up!!!

 

I give you kudos, you must have read all the pages. Glad to have you back though. Busy with bear season soon opening?

I was probably right in your area, we drove all around up there. I wanted to see a moose, lol.

Good luck Swamp... keep us posted.
Welcome back HuntMaine...
was a great trip up there we had. Kiddos looking forward to next summer already!
Bear season starts 9/8 here.

 

Lol no not yet! I have it narrowed down to an Excalibur micro, or a cheap PSE fang. Waiting to see what the outcome of MRI is first. If I need surgery, depending on the time frame, I may opt out of the team so you guys can get a replacement.

Oh boy, whatever happens, I hope you have a quick recovery!

 

Well the doc didn't want to order an MRI just yet because I had surgery on this shoulder 12 years ago when I was in the army. Had 5 dislocations within 3 months. He said the MRI will be very misleading because of that. He gave me a cortisone shot and wants me to do PT for 6 weeks. He said if by week 3 if it's not feeling better to come back in and we will do an MRI. Holy lord my shoulder feels like it was hit with a sledgehammer from that shot. Fingers crossed. Still gonna shoot for Illinois in November. I'm gonna look for a 40# dw bow

Although it isn't a direct answer as to what is wrong, I hope that it works out for you. I've heard mixed things on the shots, as everyone is different. Does this doctor not feel something is totally wrong or just because of prior history starting simple before going extreme?
