    Here are some pics that my trail cams got when I pulled the cards out today.

    This first guy is one I have many pictures of over the last 2 months. Something about him makes me think if he offers me a shot this season I will take it. All of his pics are at night.

    This next deer is a new one to me. He appears to be a 6x4 and as for age I'm not to sure. If he walks by I don't know if I will take the shot or not, as he will be something else next year.

    And then here is "Fork". I have never seen this guy before, nor has anyone else on the farm that I know of. I will definantly be hoping to get a glimpse of him at some point this season.

    What do you guys think "Fork" will score, or about how old he is?

    Cool pictures.

    I'd put him around 130-135 gross.

    Mind me asking what county?

    This is on our farm in Jersey County.

    The 130's is about where I had him scored at too. Still a no doubt shooter in my book.

    I'm not good at scoring, but I don't think he'll quite make 130". But dang he is an awesome buck in anybody's woods, bigger than anything Ive ever had a chance at....

    I have a picture of his bigger uglier brother just out of velvet this year too.

    A few bucks like that seem to show up every year on this farm.

    Hunted close to a bedding area close to where the last 2 pictures were taken. On my way out I noticed several scrapes and rubs that were just tore up in a recent clearcut. Didn't see anything today, but I think this spot may be the ticket to intercept one of these boys in a few weeks.
