    Got a pic of an Incredible Buck at Property #1. He is by far the biggest buck I have on cam at this property. Out of all 1750 pics, the one I wanted to see most is the only bad pic I got. Looks like he has a small drop tine on his right side. That would be a first for me here in NC. Can hardly wait the 2 weeks before I go back and check for better pics!

    Yeah either not taking pictures or getting the arse end of the deer, too many squirrels, raccoons and birds. But with this one I think this is an ink blotch test... you see what you want to see in the ink.

    I hope your next one is clearer, I can't make out anything in other than a deer with some sort of rack or that could be a tree. I guess you have seen other shots from the same camera that give more definition but I don't think you can put that one on your hit list just yet.

    And it seems like it always happens with the big ones. Just one more reason to believe they have magical powers!

    I definitely see 2 possible drop tines. Either way, he's got a lot of growth so far, hopefully he keeps it up because he could be a giant!

    I agree. I'd be looking forward to seeing what he might become! Hope to see some better pics in the future.

    I was just messing with you... I know if I had a pick like that it would have to be a ink botch test or Remmett70'sBunny or anything else BUT!!! a deer that wide with possible drop tines.

    Nice work on the photo edits and good luck on tagging that guy.
