    I have gotten a couple pictures of this buck and only at night. I've studied and examined this photo the best I could.....thought?age?size?
    Sorry for the quality u might have to zoom in, I'm in the process of getting a better picture but he never comes out during the day.

    Looks like a nice 8 point. Bruiser is subjective, I'd say shooter based on his build and age.

    Good sized body. Once rut hits he's going to have one heck of a big neck.

    Hard to tell exactly. Shooter is a matter of opinion.
    Nice bodied deer though.

    He's got a thick build. 3 1/2 plus. If he's the biggest your seeing and your happy with him shoot him. I would have trouble passing him.

    Looks like it, but yikes... that's the 2nd blurry "possible bruiser" buck I've seen by a Wildgame cam in the last two hours...
    If I were you guys, I'd send a friggin arrow through THOSE things first.
