    I got this photo on trail camera the other day. It looks like it could be a buck as the body is descent size and clearly there is something above the head but it just doesn't look right to me for some reason. These are the only 2 pics I got of this deer. Maybe it is and I'm just crazy. Any thoughts?

    looks like the underside of some leaves reflecting from the cam flash. see if it pops up in other pics. definitely weird.

    scratch that thought. it is moving with the deer. now I don't know. somehow the flash is reflecting of the horn. looks to be a half rack anyway.

    Could be some kind of stuck twig... could be some kind of weird half rack... just can't tell. If it were mine, I'd take a hammer to that camera and replace it with another brand.

    Hahahaha. It's the Wildgame Cloak 7. Not the best camera but I have had it for years. Plus that camera is like 75 yards from my dads house. Just there to see what's passing through for dates and times. I may have to put a Stealth Cam up to get a better look.

    It's a deer and a flying insect. I think it's just a coincidence that you captured it on two pictures that are a minute apart. Here's another example.

    That deer has a halo, the innocent should be given a pass
