    What's your best estimated buck Inches wise that you've had on your trail cams?

    For myself I had a nice 10 point which I figured would go 150" which ended up being pretty close being my brother found his sheds later the next spring across the road from where I hunt. I've only been using trail camera's for 3 years this coming fall so I hope In time that number goes way up. To be honest that's why I got a trail cam, In hopes of catching that monster buck just one time on cam.

    Low 180's for a non-typical... High 160's for a typical.

    The 180's was huntable to me, no luck but a shed antler of his though. The high 160's wasn't huntable.

    I showed Mark Drury the pic and he said mid 180's. I think he is every bit of that if not more. Pic was taken 50 yards behind my house. I saw this buck 4 times in person in my neighborhood. NONE of them in daylight. Don't know what ever happened to him.

    AMAZING!!! IF I had a camera and IF a buck like that ever showed up on it the first thing I would do AFTER regaining consciousness is call my family and tell them I will see them after season is over, then I would proceed to physically strap myself to a tree about 20' up for as long as humanly possible. That is just impressive :hail:

    This may be the highest scoring deer I've got on camera? Hard to say, because it's not the best pic!! But I have a feeling that his tine length would push him up there.... Not the best pic - but the battery was almost dead...

    This is one of my favorite pics.... Unfortunately, deer population has tanked in my area, so I haven't been getting many pics like this the last couple of years...

    If your talking about my pics, the deer are different. The bottom pic (with the 2 bucks) was taken in 2006 in my 'home area'. The top pic was taken last year, over 300 miles from my primary location, actually in a different state even. Guys land that I was hunting on, was nice enough to 'babysit' the top camera for me last year after I initially set it up....

    This dude on the left is one of the bigger bucks I have got on my cameras, as far as score goes, it is hard to say, I have heard guys say anywhere from 130" up to 160", I would personally think he was in the mid to upper 140's.

    [​IMG]

    the following year...

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    My buddy ended up shooting this buck and he looks much bigger than what he actually scores, I believe he was in the mid 120's, I think he was 127"

    [​IMG]

    This dude was so close to eatting an arrow it wasn't funny, had him at 15 yards but he came in a few minutes too early one morning and I had to watch him walk by. I would guess him in the low 120" range

    [​IMG]

    This could be the biggest buck that I have ever got on camera but it is a pretty crappy photo. He was in the back of photo and I had to blow it up to get a good view of him. Depending on how many points he has, he could go anywhere from 140" up to 160".

    [​IMG]

    Not a trail cam photo but a still shot from video, typical 10 with nice tine length, I would have guessed him in the low to mid 130's...

    [​IMG]

    This dude ended up being shot by a female hunter with a rifle, he tapped out in the low 150's, either 151 or 153, can't remember...

    I'm not sure what he scores. Cheap trail cam + foggy night = blurry pic.

    This one is from 2007.

    I've never laid eyes on either deer.
