Slow year In buck pics so far. Hopefully that changes some come August. The 1st 3 pics are of the same buck. No Idea who he Is from last year. This one here looks to be a nice 2 year old.
Lol!! Hopefully!! :D Hopefully come August some of the bigger bucks I passed last year show their face. Their should be a couple of bucks anywhere from 130 to 150 Inches (I'm hoping so anyway) running around this year (both 4 year olds this year) that I let pass last year. That's my best guess anyway on the Inches part. Shall be Interesting to see how they grew. Specially one In particular.
Schultzy you're not alone. The Homestead property has been very slow in the buck activity levels (atleast of anything substantial) however as you know just a couple weeks can change that. Fall plots and ripening apple trees here this month will activate the buck curiosity more and more...not too mention with so many does present we know here soon the bucks will begin showing their normal seeking patterns as early as this month.
I have confidence you'll be getting lots of buck pics very soon. Blessings..........Pastorjim Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Same here... They'll show up. I've got 5-6 bucks from last year that I know survived hunting season that were 130-140's last year. They haven't showed their mugs yet. One was close to 180's last year. We got pics after he dropped his sheds and haven't seen him since.
Don't feel bad, similar results in Kansas. The neighbors like to shoot three year olds during gun season so my herd is all jacked up. One borderline shooter so far, other than that a lot of young bucks. Looks like I'll have to wait for a cruiser to show up in November again
I am in the same boat this year. I have yet to anything on film that would go over about 60". Last year by this time I had about 8 different bucks coming around, and I would have been more then happy to hang my tag on either one of them.
Same thing here in N. IL haven't gotten any buck pics on one property but tons of does, finally checked 2nd prop and had a couple small ones, spikes. Checked a new property today and had some nice bucks, one 12 pt. That was a relieve! They will show up more consistently come sept.... I hope.
