    I’m not good at aging them but I’d say 4 1/2 anyways. He’d look good on my wall lol. Cool looking buck.

    This guy showed up mid day in Missouri offer the weekend. He's welcome back anytime. And I set my vacation for work to take off the first full week in November so I'll have a week to find him or his buddies. [​IMG]

    I forgot to post this up. This is a deer I have gotten pics of the last 2 years, but not with much frequency. This cam was about 100yds from my front door. 20180924_154841.jpeg

    I still haven't gotten a nice buck on cam. Hopefully one of my other places to hunt have a few.

    July I was getting pictures of good bucks but they dried up. I’m sure they’ll be back.

    Hung a new set today. Top of the ridge on my lease. There tons of big oaks around that are loaded this year. Still no shooters on cam. Just a ton of doe and some smaller bucks.
