    I am fairly new to bowhunting. Last year was my first year, I didn't have luck with trail cameras last year and I didn't do any scouting. This year I have done some scouting, I hung trail cameras on some public ground over 4th of July weekend. I didn't get very many pictures at all, but I did get a decent buck...last season I never did see a buck only a few does.

    What do you guys think? Just a rough guess on score and age. Thanks everyone. I know the pictures aren't the highest quality.

    better than my first buck on cam. I am new to hunting also. First season was last season. i can't age him or guess a score either but I can say at least yours is still moving durring daylight hours. Mine is not. Good luck with your season and I hope you get him.

    Great looking 2.5 yr old..... If he could live 2 more years he would be 150" easy. If its your first buck and hes gets you all wound up, then kill him!

    I say crush him. I have yet to capture a buck on my cam. Oh and by the way, have you had issues with your camera saving pics to an SD card? I have the same brand and last time I went out I had 15 new pics and none of them showed up on anything.

    No issues with saving to a memory card, but they have only been in use for a little over a month, hope that doesnt happen to my cameras.
