    I was looking through some of my trailcam pics from this year and spotted what I think is my buck. The pic was taken over a mock scrape I had made just a few days prior to the season opener.Check out the very end of the left mainbeam. What do you guys think? I included a map of where the pic was taken on 9.30.10 and where I shot him on 11.23.10. I'm thinking it is him.

    It's kinda funny if it's him. When I showed my buddy this pic, I told him I'd probably pass him if given the opportunity. Well, that thought never even crossed my mind when he was in my sights. :D

    Oh yea !! I'd say that's him.

    I've had trail cam photos of the same deer 3miles apart. I was shocked, when I first noticed. It's amazing how we generally dont even think about the distances these animal travel.

    Congrats on a great buck, bro !!!

    It's unanimous. I'd have to agree that it's the same buck

    I'd say def same buck and you're right, it doesn't get much better than being able to take a deer you previously got a picture of. Congrats!

    Blessings.....Pastorjim

    My friend shot a buck a mile from where I had him on cam . I was amazed how much bigger his body got between August and November. Didn't even look like the same deer except for the antlers.

    Hey Tony! Fall is an extremely busy time of year with everything I do to make a living and enjoy as a hobby. Just finished a big job with BCH and been hunting every spare minute I could find. It has been Fun!! :)

    I'm Never too far away and I've enjoyed emails & phone conversations exchanged with some of you ;)

    Yeah, same buck. The start of a g4 on the left beam is the same in both photos, also everything else looks to be the same. Congrats on having pics of him, I've always wanted to shoot a deer I have on camera.
